(no subject)
When things are going well, I never post anything.
I have a job at a christian preschool as a sub/toddler teacher. I was wary of the christian thing at first, but the gist of it seems to be "jesus loves everyone", and that's ok (even though the staff meeting was opened with prayer and that made me uncomfortable). One of the airy children's cds that we listen to repeatedly mentions the "blood of the lamb" I need to figure out which song that is and burn it. It's a zillion times better than my other school, where pleasing the parents was more important than accommodating the children. And my co workers aren't the owner's spies.
Toddlers are like little grunting neanderthauls. Less collective than the preschoolers, their vocabulary consists mostly of "mine". Some dabble into hello and goodbye. The strongest ones pick the toys they want, while the little ones can only reply with crying and occasional hair pulling. Children are living examples of evolution, slug like infants to crawly wobblers to Neanderthal toddlers, to the collectivism of preschoolers. I seem to be very popular with the wobblers (mobile infants). I think its because I can sit and make silly faces at them and coo for long periods of time without getting bored.
I preformed a splinterectomy friday, and one boy told me his mom was a gorilla. I have to go buy a new shirt before work, my weekend clothes are too lowcut for work today. And I need some kind of colorful shirt to offset the knee high combat boots. While I don't violate the dresscode any more than my co workers with (cool) visible tattoos, I don't want to lead them to say anything.
I'm trying to teach the toddlers how to pound it after a high five.
