A WEEK'S WORTH OF CONVERSATIONS I REALLY WISH DIDN'T HAPPEN:
GHOSTS. RACISM. SUICIDE AND CURSE WORDS.
"Miss Hansen, have you ever seen a ghost?"
"There are three kinds of people in this world. You, me and black people!"
"Why do people commit suicide?"
"SH*T!"
"Excuse me?"
"SH*T! You know, like POO!"
(as if they were enlightening me to the word)
For the most part my job is very lighthearted and fun, but this week presented some complicated topics that I had to address extempore, and just as quickly, dodge before things got uncomfortable.
Kids, dude. They are intuitive, creative, fragile little creatures.
