Like many artist, I have a day job to pay the bills. My day job is working as a drama teacher. I teach grades Pre-K through 6th Grade. Most days I feel really lucky (and sorta sneaky) that I get paid to play with kids all day. And then there are those days that are more difficult - especially when I don't go to sleep until 4am.
Little Zen-master Emily
Today was one of those days. After a venti-to-much-money-extra-shot-whathaveyou, I began my day teaching our nation's future Oscar winners, with (surprising) success.
Regardless of they kind of day I'm having, I can always rely on moments of Zen courtesy of this age group's tendency toward talking to anyone who'll listen.
Today's moment of Zen provided by Janae:
Janae is 5 years old, with an adorable speech impediment (is it wrong that I think speech impediments are adorable?). Janae stopped me in the middle of my lesson to tell me that another student had said a bad "wurd." Intrigued, I asked Janae what the other student said. Janae replied, "He said Superman and Spiderman. That's bad wurds." I then corrected the other student not to take Superman and Spiderman's names in vain.
