One Big, One Little

I think the best story from today once again, revolves around my ever fascinating lip. Little did I know when I moved to Salem 3 and a half years ago that the children of this town would be so stricken by my lower lip. And yet, every year, sometimes multiple times, I have a student point out its strange shape, the dent (a.k.a. "hole"), and generally the many ways in which it is weird.

Today I was sitting by and talking to one little girl in the afternoon class before class actually started. She looked at me, then looked away for a second, and glanced back up and squinted her eyes in that, "I think I'm going to say something" manner. She then pointed to her own bottom lip and said, "You have one big lip," then she moved her finger to her top lip and finished, "and one little lip." I laughed and said, "Yes, I do." She had nothing else to say on the matter and went on with what she was doing.

The rest of the day was pretty ordinary. It was fun. I was glad to be back to working! Tomorrow I hear rumors of another sub job....I hoping it comes through tonight!
