In Your Face

Brian has an obsession with smelling things.   Literally everything he touches immediately goes to his nose so he can get a whiff; bracelets, pictures, food, paint, etc...  Earlier this week we were working on our ocean and Brian wanted to know what blue paint smells like.  When he brought his paintbrush to his nose, he got a little too close, then he tried wiping it off which created the hilarious little mishap in the above photo.  My co-teacher seemed a bit concerned because my initial reaction wasn't one of worry.  Instead I started laughing and yelled "grab the camera" and began holding Brian's hands to prevent him from wiping it off before we got a picture. 

Once a week the kids get these little 'yogurts'  as the dessert for their lunches...I tried one during my first week of school and after one sip I realized that consuming the entire thing would surely give me type 2 diabetes.  I would not be shocked if there were over 80 grams of sugar in the little 4 oz orange container.  Never the less, the school keeps putting them in the kids lunches.  Each time all of cat class goes ape shit for this fruit flavored simple syrup and understandably so, it's basically crack.  After consuming one of these containers of rocket fuel Jessica, who is normally relatively calm and reserved, turned psychotic, hair a mess, running around screaming and shouting.  It was like she was possessed.   She had kept one of the little bottles well after lunch had ended and was continually sucking all the air out so it would make a suction around her mouth.  Once I realized what she was doing I took it and threw it away, but it was too late, the damage was done.  She'd successfully given herself 2 hickeys that very closely resembled a hitler mustache.  I thought this was hilarious, but her mother did not.

Above is a video from class.  Everyone is showing their bowing techniques.  What the video doesn't show is me attempting to demonstrate proper bowing techniques...why the class plan has the western teachers demonstrating this is beyond me.
