queens
i was talking with a couple of the teachers i team-teach with, mrs. h and mrs. j. mrs.h was saying how one of the middle schoolers went to her classroom to help out with the 4th grade in the mornings and one time, she noticed that the boy was practically sitting in one of the 4th grade boy's lap. mrs.h kind of raised her eyebrows and suggested that the middle schooler give the boy his space. mrs.j was nodding her head and saying, "yea, he's kind of like that..."
i chimed in and said, "yea, t [a 4th grade boy] is also kind of like that... his hand gestures, the way he acts, and how he speaks sometimes." mrs.j agreed and said, "oh, he is such a queen." i had to laugh because i thought i was the only one who thought/noticed it. she added, "and it's so strange too because his dad is so macho and manly-looking and wears wifebeaters."
mrs.h added, "oh l is a riot too. that one time we were in the digital media center for that tornado warning, i had separated the 5th grade girls and boys and l was hanging out with the girls. the librarian asked l to come over and sit with the boys and he was not happy about that. he kinda lowered his head and dragged his feet. and there was this other time when i let the 5th grade have about 10 minutes last friday to go to the gym and have recess. all the girls were doing cheers and l was with them. i called l over and told him to go play basketball with the other boys. he kinda lowered his shoulders and didn't want to join them, so i said, "oh alright, if you don't want to play basketball with them, go play with the girls." and he skipped off to join the girls. there was another time when the girls had wanted to sing a song for the class; they were pretending to be the cheetah girls and l joined them and i said, "l, sit down! the girls are the cheetah girls and they are going to sing a song." and he goes, with his hands on his hips, "i want to be a cheetah girl too and sing."
and i said, "oh and he always says, 'yes ma'am'... and 'oh thine-kyoo' (thank you)."
i don't think i've ever laughed that much during lunch at school before =]
lol moment: i asked, "what's 31-28?" to the class while we were trying to solve a long division problem on the board. i was calling on students that weren't paying attention just to re-direct them and after a long string of "huh?, what?, um..." i called on j and he answers emphatically, '74 !' and i just cracked up and said, "j, where did you get that answer? you wouldn't get 74 even if you added 31 and 28 !"
dear friend, please tell me who i am, and start from the inside, or wait instead, before it's said, all these monsters i couldn't hide beneath the bed or in my head, if i was stronger they would've died, but every once in a while i'm terrified...
