How's your day been? Mine was spent at Mount Hawke skate park with my son, Oscar and his mates. I lay on the big comfy sofas in the rec room reading, but mostly I just listened in on the conversations going on around the pool table. The coin mechanism was broken so all games were free. A tournament ensued. Here is a sample of the boy-talk I was particularly taken with:
1st boy: Is it true you keep a photo of your mom, naked, in your locker?
Chorus: Snigger
1st boy: Cos I heard you keep a photo of your mom, naked, in your locker. Is that true?
2nd boy: No... f**k-off! As if I do!!
Chorus: Snigger louder
1st boy: Oh right. It's just that that was what someone told me. You know. That you keep a photo of your mom, naked, in your locker.
Chorus: More sniggering.
2nd boy: No - I keep a photo of YOUR mom in my locker, and she's naked and bending over my bike!
Chorus: Fall About in Hysterics
1st boy: F**k off!!
You can see why I want to work with the little cherubs can't you?
About Me
- Number 6
- Having spent the past few years blaming my parents for everything, I have decided to take responsibility for my own triumphs and mistakes. I have been working as an English and Media teacher in Adult education for the past four years, now I am re-training in the secondary sector because I want to give young people (and myself) the option to create an exciting future. The facts: I am a mother (one son: aged 14) a sister (eldest of 3), a teacher (still learning - but very passionate about the effect one person can have on another),an abuser of brackets when writing (can't help it). Secret smoker (when I can be bothered to hide it). Join me on my quest for knowledge... you may learn something (or teach me a thing or two)
