"Do you ever get mad?"

Today was Day 1 of a Reading/Literacy/Drama Camp I'm helping out at. I had 6 students of very different personalities and a lot of fun actually.

One of the boys asked me question in the title. I was quite surprised. My first thought was, "I have been showing emotion, haven't I?" He also asked me if I always laugh that much. Funny to realise that I've been studied, but it also reminds me that children learn from what they observe.

Not just children, actually, but all of us.

So there were moments where I was sure I lost them completely, when they walked over me and also when they saw me controlling my displeasure, but I really do hope that they enjoyed themselves and that they also saw how much I enjoyed being with them.

Thank God for today!
