Kid Get Your Finger Out of Your Nose
Hey Voodoo Babies. I took an early day off and went to visit Mista J at his place of work and read to his kiddies. I also stopped in and read to a colleague of his' as well. I love reading books to kids, and it amazed me how much the ability to read has impacted me as a child. I was inquiring as to the newspaper by the age 4, and I was ready to go for kindergarten. I was a library nerd early on in life, and a lot of it was due to my mom reading to me as a kid.
So I'm reading these books, and his class is full of 1st grade boys. Cute as the devil, and boy are they active little ones. . So I'm reading to his class, they're all attentive, helpful and sitting up. They're participating in the reading, making good noise, and being very cute, as little boys are. The reading went well, and I was happy. The other class I read to, they were chillin' hard, layin' down on their sleepingbags, and some were very present, but there were others who were like this little boy at my feet, who had his finger up his nose almost the whole time.
How charming.
It was also distracting because I like to make eye contact with the kids when I'm reading, and it's somewhat unsettling to look down and see a booger fiend making eye contact back to me. Ahh youth. Anyways, so I tried to get my motors back up and quickly scanned the room for a non-nosepicker, and luckily I was able to. The rest of the reading went very very well, and I was happy.
What a nice way to end a work day, huh?
Anyways, off to enjoy the rest of the day.
Laters!

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people who annoy me. ~Fred Allen
