blood, baby daddies, and muslims.

the last few days have been interesting ones. yesterday was especially eventful.

1) two girls got in a fight yesterday, throwing fists, screaming profanities, kicking, pulling hair... lovely. the best part was that one of the girls is pregnant, and when other students pleaded with her to stop, she screamed something about not bleeping caring about the baby. well, then. i'm sure she'll make a spectacular mother. seriously... select sterilization would solve so many of the world's problems. (and you think i'm joking...)

2) at about the same time, in another part of the school, a skinny russian kid started threatening a ghetto-fab baby daddy, saying he was going to have the russian mob come after him and other sick things quietly so the teachers wouldn't pick up on it... well, baby daddy is not so sneaky, so he chose to start yelling threats at the other kid. lots of gangsta talk, the whole thing was so stupid & childish, i almost laughed. the great part is, all the kids in daycare could hear. lovely.

3) more joys were in store for later. one of my students thinks it's perfectly acceptable to tell people how stupid they are, or how ugly they are, or pretty much anything else that she thinks is true. my favorite is when she calls us "wicked" because we won't let her sleep in class. anyways, she was heavily insulting another student all day, who is more mature (and therefore, more tolerant of stupid behavior). this student did a good job of ignoring her until the last hour of the day, at which point she snapped and threw a few right back at her. when student #1 realized that she was going to lose this battle, she tried to make amends by saying, "it's ok, we're friends, we're both muslims, right?" wrong. student #1 is as much a muslim as hitler was a Christian. all talk, no walk, you know what i'm saying? student #2 is a devout muslim who actually practices her religion. she always rolls her eyes when #1 talks about what a great muslim she is (she had a baby at 16 and named him Mohamed, gave up her fake hair for ramadan, and, well, that's it). instead of the usual eye roll, student #2 threw up her arms and said "HA!" (as in ha, yeah, right, you're the worst muslim ever.) this made #1 mad and want to to fight. have you ever seen anyone in a hijaab fight? i sure haven't... and i don't want to!

oy. i think that's entirely enough for now. haha kudos to you if you actually read all of that. and, if you're wondering, today went much better. i think the kids had some sense knocked into them when the two girls that fought were expelled. hmmm...

verse: romans 12:2. one of my favorites... ever.
