Soul Of A Child

Working with kids is the most beautiful thing in life. They drive me nuts, make me wanna smack their butts and scream my lungs out at them. But the little things they do bring happiness such as I have never experienced before.

Their love and affection is so pure and spontaneous. They are never afraid or embarrassed to express their love. They hold no grudges. Having been screamed at only a few minutes ago, they will still be the most eager to share their little packet of sweets with the teacher. And when the teacher refuses them, they wont take no for an answer and will stuff it in the teacher’s mouth haha.

The most simplest of things matter to them the most. When u tell a boy to wait at the gate for the teacher and not move from there till the teacher comes no matter what, he eagerly puts up his hand, waiting for the teacher to finish talking. When she does finish, he eagerly asks, “teacher! What if I need to pee?” hahahahaha

And they are really aware of the teacher’s dressing style and everything! When she wears something different on some day, they ask her if she is wearing a new top. And they are the most sweetest things on earth when they tell her bashfully that she looks pretty and then go all red haha.

And, boy, are they interested in the teacher’s personal life. They want to know which of the many msgs that she gets during the day is from her boyfriend LOL. Of course, they refuse to believe that she doesn’t have one. If they do, they even suggest that she gets one hahahaha

Its an experience of its own, being with these kids. It’s the time when a person is brought back to his own childhood and feels his heart being purified of all the issues that haunt adulthood. It’s something that would tame the wildest of beasts and heal the most wounded of hearts.
