Well that was one week of volunteering mostly with little 4-6 year olds and a hella lot of fun. :D Some of the kids there were beyond cute, like little Alex who looked exactly like Rupert Grint [Ronald Weasley] except younger. Sure he liked to say 'hi' a lot and wipe his sweat on people (eg. my arm) but, hell, he was gone on both field trips and that helped. There was also Katie and Brendan, who I loved seperately and they were oh-so-cute together. Brendan would always say 'here Katie, we've got to _______' and it was v. v. insanely adorable like you could not imagine. Other pairs included the Julia/Cassie which was sweet and then Molly/Elizabeth, both in an utterly platonic way, although Molly/Elizabeth sure was touchy-feely. Molly got a little annoying in the fact that she was such a loud-mouthed know-it-all, but then again I suppose half of the reason I had "issues" was because I was a lot like that when I was little. Not too hard to believe I imagine. Bryan was also v. cute and such a little future player. No really, he'd go around to all of the counselors and volunteers and hang on us and be cute and such a little, well, diva I guess but he was so sweet that you really didn't mind. There was also Tyler who was quite a handful but cute and we mustn't forget Patrick who was just as noisy though not quite as cute, but still rather nice. Aidan was, well, Aidan and sometimes you wanted to take him home with you and other times you wished you were allowed to cage the little brats. There were also Garrett, Michael and Colin my quiet ones, who were v. nice for a break from the ever mouthy Alex and Jonah [the most verbally obnoxious of them all. Damn that kid could talk.]. Then there was Vincent who had that poor culture barrier to cross and I knew he understood a lot more than he let on, but still refused to keep his hands out of body parts, both his and others. ::sigh:: He'll get over it, we hope.

Today one of the little kids said 'goddammit'. I'm not to sure what to say, because I sure as hell didn't know that word when I was 4. >.> I was a good little kid.

	awww kids are the best! it sounded like your week was endless fun. (yes, i do have a strange tolerance for crazy children... they're too young to know any better.) oh man, one time i heard two little kids, around 3 or 4, having a conversation about "boobies." it was horrifying. i've only been using that word during the past 3 years of my life!
