[Crimsonthread]

Thanks, Lilli--I could sure use them!

How are you doing, my dear?

[Lilliputt]

Better and better. I have learned some things about my beautiful Escape daughter of late. British is not her forte

[Crimsonthread]

Glad to hear that, Lilli. I saw that you said earlier that you slept well last night... that makes me happy. Da Lilli needs her rest.

Erm... British what?

[Lilliputt]

She tried ta speak British butaaa... it didn't go so well, you see Oh, she made me laugh, da Crimson. She has a way ta do that
About sleep, yeah, it is a good thing one one is able to. I prefer the dreamless kind though
Howz you doin' though? Howz da sweet little doggie?

[Crimsonthread]

She's doing well... she didn't make a mess today.

I'm pretty good. But I'm really feeling the stress of teaching... and school doesn't start till next week! I went to teacher in-service at 7:30 AM, left school around 5:30 PM, and since then, I've been working on stuff at home. And I still feel like there's so much to do before Friday.

But, as all things do, it'll work out for the best. I may be working till 9 every night, but it'll be worth it to make a difference in even one child's life.

[Lilliputt]

Oh, I thinks we have all had teachers who have made a positive difference in our lives, I'd say. I likes that attitude
How old are them kids ya teach? And how many?

Now, there's a good doggy

[Crimsonthread]

5th grade (10-11 years old), and I'm teaching two classes--my morning class has 22 students, and my afternoon has 24.

[Lilliputt]

Oh... lotsa work but fun age. They are so clever at that age

[Crimsonthread]

Yes, but they're also developing that pre-teen attitude... Luckily, I tutored a lot of these students last year, and many of them are very very sweet kids.

[Lilliputt]

Pree teen attitude huh? So THAT'S what it's called Da real life niece is ten

[Crimsonthread]

Ah, she got that bug? Unfortunately, there's no cure for it... and it often gets worse all the way through high school. Sometimes it starts to clear up shortly after high school graduation, and generally disappears completely by age 23-25.

Da Crimson's being silly--I think Jenni's wearing off on me

[Lilliputt]

I think she got it with everyone but me Once she got upset so I sympathised with her and we both marched off to her room. This is what she told me about her parents:
"They treat us like children!!" As an adult I didn't know how to answer that

DISAPPEARS?! Oh really?!

[Crimsonthread]

DISAPPEARS?! Oh really?!

Well... uh... :looks in mirror: I think so...

"They treat us like children..." Kids are so funny!
