New Hair and China

For those of you who don't know, I work once a week as a teacher's aid in the prep to approximately year two class of my old primary school.

This provides me with something to laugh about every  week, this week there were two particular moments which I loved.

The first came from a little prep girl called Billie, I love her name, she is one of the sweetest children always very concerned for others and such a pleasure to work with. When Billie saw my new hair cut (which is a short shaggy bob, very different to the long hair I had previously), she said that at first she didn't recognise me but then she heared my voice and knew it was me. Then Billie leaned close to me and said that she thought maybe I got my hair cut because I saw her hair (which is also newly short) and really liked it... Of course she was completely right, I love her hair.

The second wonderful moment came from another prep student Jaspa. Jaspa is a very little prep boy, and he gets so wonderfully excited about everything that his body shakes with enthusiasm. This week he brought into school a new soccer ball. He was showing me how it was a special socceroes ball and exclaiming "look it says made in China! I don't know how it got here?!" obviously some poor kid in China is missing his Socceroes ball. China is obviously too far away for such a little boy.

I love my job!
