U Agga Nyana had left to find the bathroom, which he didn't realize requires a key, so U Gawsita started chasing him down the elementary school halls with the key and booming loudly, "AGGA! AGGA!" until finally the rest of the class was overwhelmed with curiosity about the monks' names. Before discussing his drawing, U Pyinya Zawta obliged with name explanations.

All three monks got driver's licenses while living in Utica. I desperately wish I'd seen that driving test. Only U Gawsita feels comfortable driving in New York City, however.
