How was your day?

Spencer and I were in charge of the "English Game" portion of Friday's Shabe Night. He came up with the great idea of having the students rank responses (like "good" "bad" "okay") to the question "How was your day?" We gave each group 10 slips of paper with responses on them, and instructed the students to place them in order from best to worst. 

Three things happened: 

1) there was a unanimous dilemma over the difference between "good" and "pretty good"; which is better?

2) It was so funny to hear the students ponder the word "splendid." Do Americans use that word commonly? No. But we definitely should. 

3) The best response really stuck and has already become popular among the students: 

"How was your day?" 
"Crraaazzyy Awwesommmee!!!"
