Funny message

The Japanese teacher who's been fortunate (?) enough to have E for three years and B for his first year has quite the odd sense of humor. She makes up nicknames for all of her students, has her room decorated with Brad Pitt posters and gives the impression that she doesn't speak English well, especially to the first-year parents.

B came home from school with a note on his Japanese homework from sensei, his teach, that said, in Japanese, "You're cute." Of course, he had to find an upperclassman to translate for him and he couldn't wait to show it to E. I knew there had to be a story behind that and today he told it all.

Apparently, sensei was teaching the students basic directions in class yesterday - come here, go away, sit down, and so on. She motioned to B to "come here" and gave the command in Japanese, but since he didn't understand what he was saying he relied on her motion, which he though meant "go lower" so he squatted down in class. She started laughing and shaking her head and told him, "No, come here," motioning even harder. When she got him paired up with another student to continue their work, she walked over to his homework and wrote her funny message for him.
