There's something in your ear...

OK, I officially suck as a Saturday school teacher. I was supposed to study, work on my paper, and get a good night's rest tonight. Instead I went to happy hour and dinner with frineds and met other friends for drinks at a bar on my way home. Now it's late and I clearly have done no work and will get about 5 hours sleep. And I'm not even getting laid for all this lack of sleep and motivation.


Today at school, I was laying down with one of my needier students for naptime today. He wasn't sleeping so I let him play with my hair. As he was "braiding" it (ouch) he goes, "There's something in your ear" and proceeds to stick his finger in my ear!!! Yeah, it's called earwax, baby. Nothing like having someone's finger stuck in your ear to get some wax out. My job is GLAM-O-ROUS.

Then my assistant says, "(student's name), what color is Ms. (my name)," and he responds, "black." And he tells her she's black, too (she's not). Todas las personas son negritas. Como el. I love the age when children have such a limited concept of our differeences. Wouldn't it be great to look around and think, "I like you so we must be the same."
