"mrs. r speaks highly of you. she says you're really good with the kids."
hearing nice things people say about you from other people
is the best feeling ever.

i was in charge at the coloring table. everyone was
genuinely impressed how well i stayed in the lines.
anna tugged at my arm, pointed to my mask and said
"i like." then she poked me later and pointed to hers;
she had colored her flowers the same colors as mine.
leslie kept on complimenting it too then colored her flowers the same too.

during recess, i accompanied them to play at the monkey bars.
mayte dangled there like a limp doll and said sadly "i can't."
so i carried her back down to safety.
she has grillz for teeth & was little red hiding hood that day.
