The Toucan Thief

I'm not normally in the habit of making so many posts, but while my schedule's sparse, I'll probably have more time.

Today I was teaching Lorenzo, who's 8. This kid has got a great imagination. We were talking about what he'd learned in English class today, animals. He mentioned a jellyfish and a toucan, so I drew pictures and labelled them. He then proceeded to draw a hat on the toucan's head, and a picture of a disgruntled man next to him. When I asked why the man was angry, he pointed to indicate that the toucan had stolen the man's hat. Then he drew 8 more angry people and the toucan ended up sporting a necklace, boots, glasses, lipstick and a t-shirt, as well as munching on a sandwich. THAT is why I like teaching kids. I only wish I'd had my camera for photographic evidence.

I also met with my boss, who has promised me more classes and help finding a new apartment this summer which would drastically decrease my commuting time. It was a pretty nice day. Now I'm going to do some cleaning up and watch a Hitchcock movie with some popcorn and a glass of Mercadona's finest euro wine.
