The youngli...Kindergarteners, my students started attending class this week. Several of them wept uncontrollably when their parents tried to leave them at school, and what I wanted to say was that some children didn't even have that luxury of Mother and Dad seeing them off.
Some of us had to take Threepio with us.
One small boy began screaming and ran out of the school into the lot designated for the staff's vehicles. He declared that he was "GOING HOME!!" and ran for it. I would have liked to yank him back by the Force and dangle him upside down for a good minute. Some vehicles come racing through the lot without a care for their speed, or the children in close proximity!
Instead, I assisted his mother and a fellow teacher in retrieving him. My poor colleague was so shaken by this event.
I think I am beginning to understand the reason for what they call, "Happy Hour" after work is finished. I'd even be kind to Naki for some really good ale right now.
