Kids and the new man in my life
About a year or so ago, I decided that I wasn't having children. Ever. I worked with kids with special needs from the age of eighteen to twenty-one, the last year of that in the two/three year old room at a childcare center.
Spending five days a week in a room with thirty small children all clamouring to get their needs met, wears you down after a while.
"Miss Giiiiiingerrrrrrrrr, He just hiiit meeeeeee"
"Miss Ginger, I need to go to tha toiiiiilet"
"I can't tie my shooooes"
Condense and layer, make them one and that was my life. Somehow, my name had stretched into seven sylables!
I love kids though, really I do. I used to be the kind of person who was useless if there was a kid in the room. All I wanted to do was play.
I turned from that, into 'yeah sure, your kid's cute but can you get it off me now?' I liked to watch them play in the park from my car window (as I'm driving; not parked behind the bushes!)or shopping with their mothers at the supermarket, but beyond that...Nothin'.
Sad really. But that all changed today. I saw a new born baby that made me cry he was so adorable. I didn't even know his parents! I'll have to process this a bit more I think.........
And in other news, I've got a new boyfriend!
Well, not really. A friend of mine very kindly gave me a male manequin to do with as I choose (think art project o.k!). I've got no idea yet......
He's got no head, nor arms or legs.
I think I'll call him Democracy.
