Predrag XXXX 4b¹

An event at school

Two weeks ago we had music. The teacher called me to the blackboard because I was talking to my schoolmate Senad. She told me that I have to sing a song that I can do best. I started singing Zašto baš ti moja ikono sa zida [”Why you, my idol, from the wall?” — a Serbian turbofolk song] The teacher stopped me immediately and gave me a note to bring home. When I showed it to my Dad, he started laughing and said: “Sine reci ti njoj da je Mile Kitić car.” [”Son, tell her that Mile Kitić rules.] I said this, and then there was a parent-teacher conference.

Very modest and superficial
and modest, but there’s progress! 1-2²

1. I can’t know for sure if this thing is real or not but I removed the surname regardless. Suffice it to say that, like the first name, it’s also indicative of a Serbian immigrant. Hence the many grammar mistakes and the occasional Serbian words. [back]
2. The American equivalent would be F-D [back]
