A new trend has been sweeping over the Internet. Moustache Tattoos, or alternatively, moustaches drawn on people’s fingers. While I’m not brave enough to actually get a tattoo, I did happen to draw on my hand in class while bored. The girl pictured on the right was reading her storybook and I would occasionally put my finger handlebar moustache to my face as I corrected the her pronunciation.
She would tell the rest of the students, "Look up! Look at the teacher!" By then, of course, I had already concealed my hand, so no one else knew what she was talking about. After she finished reading her book, she couldn’t wait to get a marker and draw her own moustache. Unfortunately, for her first finger moustache she went for more of a "Hitler-stache" instead of something more Rollie Fingers inspired.
She went on to color one more of her fingers as well with a more Boris Badenov sort of moustache that fit her somewhat mischieveous personality as well.
The rest of the class finally figured out what was going on and started in on the trend, showing off their different moustaches and talking in silly voices. My secret hope is that this trend not only spreads to the other classes of this school, but that they spread it to their actual elementary schools.
How awesome would it be to see Korean school children with moustaches drawn on their hands on the street as you went to work talking to each other in mock French Clouseau style voices? I would venture to say it would be completely awesome and highly improbably to the utmost degree.
