So today because of a funeral in Mulan involving a family from school and because it was Friday, we had a total of about 30 kids today which is a little down from the usual 80. But naturally, while most classes had about 4 or 5 kids and Donna's kindy class which usually has about 20 kids was down to 3, Primary C had a solid 11 students attending from the morning bell. We were tired, we were down a helper with KP away sick so jenny and I extended the morning out as long as we could which included making Easter cards for the kids' families and i suggested finger painting which turned into a good idea as each kid did their own painting on a massive piece of paper which we will use to cover the windows so the children don't get distracted by runaways outside during class time.
Most kids just painted pictures, some painted dreamtime stories but the one that stuck out to me was Sharelle Bumblebee's painting. She started with a really nice picture with hand prints and dots carefully placed, then smudged it all with her brush. She then did another very interesting piece on top of that and then again smudged it. She did this about 4 times before her page was a bid dirt brown blob. She then on top of that, did a really interesting pattern on top of that which looked to me very good. Now it was no masterpiece but she has a really interesting way of thinking about those kind of things and as Jenny said to me, one day she'll be a very successful artist.
Now to the purpose... My room mate, Steph to be precise comes out with some glorious things which really do keep us entertained thoroughly.
Unfortunately, I have forgotten a lot of them but here are a few:
1) Neus leaves the room coughing a lot while we're having dinner and when she returns, Steph goes", "Geez are you ok? I was about to run in and give her the Heineken maneuver"... yes, Heineken, like the beer.
2) We'll not go into depth with her use of the word "Dardy" even though when proving it was a real word using urban dictionary, she realised she was using it in the complete opposite way to which it was intended explaining It means like beyond dero"
3) The fact she left the hot plate on in the kitchen one night is sorta a given here.
4) It wasn't really something she said this time but it was just hilarious when Lyn, one of my personal favourites in Primary C who has had quite the cheeky week was in the pool and Steph goes "Pass it to me, I'm your favourite!" so she goes "ok" and then passes it to me while looking at Steph. This sort of thing really shouldn't be funnny to an 18 year old but honestly, it didn't get old no matter how many times she did it.
And many many more of which I cant think of right now.
While living together, I have taken on the role of the peace keeper or 'Karma Police' if you will. Some are under the impression that I am giving house mates a hard time but they are simply misinformed.
I never complete any major acts of annoyance or inconvenience to a house mate unless they have done something to bring it upon themselves and I am simply maintaining a nice balance :)
That being said, thus far, Ale hasn't given me any reason to cause any major annoyance or inconvenience to his person so Steph may feel slightly picked upon but I'm sure she will understand in time.
p.s. those asking for photos, I may take some this weekend if we get up to anything but I don't tend to take pictures during the school week so that would be the reason for the lack of visual aids in my blogs recently. However, I might look around to see what I can add in which will enhance the enjoyment already being experienced by the readers of one of the best blogs in Balgo at this present time :)
*In a Strong Memphis accent* Thankyou very much
So good to see nothing's changed, even though you're on the other side of the country - still the perfect child - still writing notes with smiley faces for the household to read the next morning - still kicking or throwing any ball-like object you can find around INSIDE the house (poor Steph probably doesn't know you've been doing that since you were 2 years old!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice surprise to find a second blog in 2 days - keep it up!
