Admittedly, I'm a little apprehensive about my return to teaching this fall. I'm afraid that I've forgotten how to teach twelve-year-olds and that I won't find the work as intellectually stimulating as graduate school.
Thank goodness for Kaj. He's the eight-year-old that I tutor in handwriting. Even though the workbook is BORING, he does the lessons and only calls them stupid every now and again.
Most importantly, he reminds me to laugh -- something I haven't done nearly enough this year. And when I heard him tell these jokes today,
What did the fish say when he hit a wall? Dam.
What do you call a bear that stinks? Winnie the peeeww.
How is a teacher different from a train? A teacher says, "Spit out your gum!" and a train says, "chew, chew."
I laughed pretty hard. And remembered why I love what I do.
