I started a new session of classes on Saturday. The second was kick-in-the-throat exhausting. Let these next two sentences serve as a window into the minds of the Leaders of Tomorrow:
Child A to Mother A:
"Mama, I didn't hurt anybody today!"
Mother B to Child B:
"I told you your skirt would keep falling down if you didn't wear underwear."
Plus I have to give Carbuncle the Car Monkey back to its rightful owner (who also happens to be the Skirt Slipper). Turns out that just because a six-year-old leaves a ridiculously cute monkey in your classroom does not mean that it gets to live in your car.
Damn.
I was also disappointed this evening to discover that the play written by a high school student and entitled The Sheep Child turned out to be about a girl who follows all her parents' wishes and not about a boy with a sheep's head.
Perhaps it is a sign that I should write a play about a little sheepy.
