Give Back Day
For work, we did a community service project: we ran a field day at Bush AAA (a middle school STL public school district)
It was a beautiful day - perfect for a field day - and we all had a lot of fun. I also got dismissed from work at 1:30 this afternoon-- can't get much better than that!!
BUT the funniest thing that happened today was a small little girl - but feisty as hell, was involved in a water fight. Some boy threw water at her perfectly straightened hair. She started screaming: immediately, the wet part of her hair started tightly curling. So she had half a head of straight hair, and half a head of very curly hair. She was spectacularly pissed. She went after the boys with a vengance. And I felt bad for the girl; I mean, that really sucks. HOWEVER, she wouldn't wet down her entire head: that way she would have had one hairstyle. But she wanted the straight hair to stay straight. *sigh* so funny.
AND THEN!! She's shrieking and yelling at her teammates to hurry up because she wants to win. She was the smallest girl in the school, but DAMN was she feisty.
She made my day.
I participated in the dizzy bat race. I forgot how amazingly dizzy that makes you. I was barely able to run back to my teammates and wound up diving on the ground so that everything would stop spinning.
All in all, a very nice way to spend a half day of work!
