mixed feelings

Funny and sad.

The funny part: It was one of my first supply days and I was called in to a French immersion class. Yes, just anyone can get assigned to just anything. Of course I took French until grade ten but I certainly can't speak it now beyond saying my name and asking to go to the washroom. So I introduced myself to the grade twos and informed them that I didn't know how to speak French. I told them they could speak French to me if they wanted, but I wouldn't be speaking French to them today. They cheered.

The sad part: Later on that day, a little boy came up to me and told me his parents were getting separated. He wasn't sad, per se, but he was confused for sure. Sigh. Life is tough for little kids.
