It really IS all about the little things...like not being able to watch the news or the weather, so you always get stuck in the rain...or only having one channel (QVC) so you know all the new litte exercise fads and ugly old lady gear that is on the market, but NEVER what is happening in the country you live in unless someone tells you.
Perhaps even getting spit on, really IN. Getting spit on, IN the eye, by one of your favorite students while he is super duper excited about showing his mommy what he learned in class today. So...he has a wet mouth? So what?
So. Yuck.
The things that make life impossibly funny and difficult and annoying and...wait did I say funny? It is never really funny when it happens but I gotta tell you, even the spit in the eye thing got a laugh out of me shortly thereafter.
So maybe it is important to highlight the little quirks and quams of daily life so that you can appreciate them in the grand scheme of things. Maybe next time we are going over the lesson material, I'll stand next to my other favorite student...who doesn't spit. He just sneezes into the hand he uses most often. The lesser of two evils?
Aah...indeed...the little things.
