Close encounters of the tiny kind, part 1

[goldvermilion87]

Because they really are like adorable hilarious aliens.

Observe:



I encounter a tiny person in an hallway.  His hand shoots up into the air.

ME:  Yes?

TINY PERSON:  Um, excuse me!

ME:  Yes?

TINY PERSON:  Um... well, I have my badminton racket, but I don't have anything to put it in.

ME:  ...
        ...
        ...
        For recess?

TINY PERSON [directs me to backpack with conspicuous badminton racket handle sticking out of it]:  I brought my badminton racket to school so I could play with it with my friends but I don't have anything to carry it in.

ME:  Could you just carry it out in your hand?

TINY PERSON:  Okay.

And he runs off to recess holding the racket straight out in front of him in two hands.

I couldn't imagine teaching little kids all day, but being in the same building with them is very entertaining. :-D

You're back, you're back! Hurray! *hugs* E-mail is all well and good, but I've missed you on LJ. Especially your stories of the tiny people!

Hehe! I keep bumping into tiny people this year, so it should be very entertaining. :-)

Welcome back!
Your insights on teaching shall all be considered grist for the "Scions of Deduction" mill!

Fortunately none of these are quite Sherlock-spawn level.
