patience
I like children, i really do.(too bad i can't eat them a whole!)
ITs not hard to see on the way how i am always the one incharge of taking care and playing with cousins children every festive sessions. And to make funny faces every time i see a girl girl or boy boy along the street, discretely of cos. Its rather amusing to see how they react.
I remember having a conversation with jiandong not so long ago and when he started mentioning having little alfreds (yes, plural with a S) running around. I became so excited at the thought of it and started rolling around my bed while chatting in details... Then we started thinking about their names and stuff.
And along the way, i must admit that i am slightly traditional, preferring boys to girls.
2 boys, 1 girl should be just nice! I told jian dong happily,
it would be perfect if the youngest is the girl...To think he really played along with this conversation made me so delighted...
Nonetheless with all the attributes i have, i am rather afraid that i dont have the patience to accomplish this feat of having 3 children.
Patience, something that i lost along the way, or perhaps i left it somewhere and totally forgotten where i place it?
Where can my patience be?
Maybe, my patience is hidding somewhere in my ever messy drawer, or polly in my sealed box that was not opened for close to 4 yrs. or perhaps hidding in my closet? Skeletons are not the only thing that have the right to hide in there u know. I'm sure that my skeleton will be nice and friendly enough to share its space in the closet with my patience.
And even if it reappear somewhere, i wonder how does it look like. Certainly, i know how a patient look like, but this is patience. You can't just put more than 1 patient together and become patients, can you?
Well, this morning it suddenly came back to me! it just popped out all of the sudden upon reaching mac ritchie and waving to me, it said,"HI! i'm back!"
With that, i single handedly took charge of 10 children age ranging from 6 to 11.
At times, i feel that taking children out for kayaking can be much easier than bringing adults out. For they can be easily amused and i dont need to crack my brain to come out with any new ideas for my program. Afterall, they are children, EVERYTHING is new to them.
3 hrs handling 10 children. Not a bad start of regaining my patience i must say.
