April 3: Arianna and I read “Child of the Sun”, which is a Cuban legend that explains how and why eclipses happen. The story involved the first two humans being created by the sun and the moon. Neither of us were able to figure out how to pronounce these humans’ names, so Arianna settled for dubbing them Jesus and Lady Gaga.
April 4: Miss Connie has never had lice. This has only caused her problems when she still lived in the Philippines and the monkeys her family owned would comb through her and her cousins’ hair, searching for parasites. They would comb through her locks and found nothing to eat, they would bite her instead.
April 5: Robert’s aunt came in to give Melissa a 40-minute long thinly-veiled threat. She said that she tells her cousins about Robert’s treatment at this school and that they have said they are more than willing to all come out here and show us who is boss.
April 6: Abel asked me to make a fortune teller for him out of green construction paper. I was in the middle of taking attendance, so I told him I would make one for him, but he would have to wait a few minutes. “But it’s an emergency!,” he yelled desperately.
April 7: Lianna had a rabid dog in her improve scene with Brenna. The dog bit Brenna and she gently suggested that Lianna take him to a vet. “I have,” she said. “But they are so unhelpful. All they ever say is put him down. Put him down where?”
April 8: Nick keeps putting off talking to his family about help they could give us for the wedding. I find it strange he can’t just ask them. I guess that’s the difference, I have family and he has relatives.
April 9: The pizza here has cornmeal in the dough. When they brought it to our table, it wafted the unmistakable scent of corn bread.
much love,
