I am no longer a HOBO, I got a job!!! :-D

Hey Wayne! God bless you, my friend! Glad you have job!


Hell yeah!

Shot / Thanks Yoda / Stevie Wonder!!

The littlies dig to me to bits!

xD

They ask my mom (who is a teacher there) like every day:

"Mam Is Wayne coming today??"

Can you believe it?

And I thought I would make the worst father in the world.

I was always scared of starting a family due to my own disaster(s) and chaos in life.

I have not found the right person yet, that will take me some time to find the right women I just need some time with that and not only that but I need to have a VERY stable income and / or degree first before I even think of a family.

Wow I never knew I would be good with the children!!!111!1111!

SCORE!

xD

lol I am so glad they dig me!

I am over the moon and so happy!

I was very nervous when I first started.

You know what?

I do understand why some people end up on park benches... hopeless... depressed... lost... chaotic and shattered.

I was going that way.

Some fight the current... and others... well they end up on park benches.

I am glad I have changed.

And I think the storm is "Clearing" :)

I played this song for all of the littlies on my phone and they loved it to bits!

Thunderstruck - AC/DC(lyrics) - YouTube

I really believe I am a good influence on them.

There is a Piano at the school so I decided to play some other tunes for them.

I am having a blast! :)

We play games and all sorts of fun stuff :D

Who better to teach them how to put themselves on the right path than someone who had to do it for himself? The student has become the teacher (as it should be.)

The problem will be consoling those kids who *don't* get to be in your class.

You'll no doubt go from Professor Stinky to Dr. Stinky, PhD. and wear those corduroy jackets with patches on the elbows (six sleeves, of course) and smoke a pipe.

Thanks Blind Android Guy with android dog!!!

(Just Jokin Lunatic you geezer you!! :D)

(LOL)

You have no idea how much those comments mean to me my friend :)

And you have no idea how extremely petrified I was of this job!

I was worried I would make them worse, but they love me to bits! They all want to be in day care / after care now!!

xD

HAHAHA!

There is this one really really REALLY bright child, (I will just call him "Bob" due to his right to privacy) Bob.

Bob is freaking freaking clever.

More than likely the 2nd coming Bob is :)

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in Bob's mind at times.

Bear in mind Bob is ONLY in Grade 2 (Bob is about 8 years old) ... I have many different ages in my After Care ranging from 5 - 13 years.

Bob is so smart that I tested / challenged him with a concept. My theory of hydraulic steering or in easier terms, "Fake Banking" for motor cars.

AND this OUT THE SHELL genius 500% understood!!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

8 years only!! :)

Incredible!!

Makes me smile.

:-D

It really does.

But then Bob said,

"How did you think of that?"

I told him:

"that will be for another day ;)"

Sadly it then looked like Bob wanted to cry.

I asked him:

"What's wrong Sunshine?"

Bob said:

"I have ADD"

(Bob does have a lot of energy and can hardly stand still but that is a good thing in my opinion but never mind that)

I then said to Bob:

"Don't cry it is okay.

Let me tell you something,

Do you know who John Nash is?
He is a very bright man and he is similar to you in many ways.
Don't let any one "issue" trick you into thinking you are a loser.

Many great people in the past have been misunderstood."

I then said to Bob I will rent the film "A Beautiful Mind" just for Bob :)

I am gonna rent it tomorrow and they can all watch it onthe TV.

I am going to try open his mind a little.

Wow that child is clever.

We get on well!! :D

I am not surprised at all that kids would love you. :)

Well I tell you I was very nervous!

xD

But we are having such a blast now it is awesome!

I got the DVD "A Beautiful Mind" just for the awesome little guys and gals and especially for Bob :)

I am slightly worried about Bob in a way though I am actually very concerned but not because he is a fool but just the opposite,

He comes from a Hindu family that appear to have very strict rules about their Indian Religion (Hinduism) as Bob's good loving folks where Red Dots on their fore heads occasionally I have noticed.

Now there is NOTHING wrong with being a Hindu at all I believe Hinduism has some great points to it and I am not picking on any one's religion AT ALL because religion is a very personal thing, however Bob keeps telling me:

"Why is there a Money God???

Why are Rands (he means money) so special to everybody and everything???"

(He said something like that I can't remember 200% now exactly what he said but never mind that because that is not the issue here.)

I kind of lied to him sadly (Look I am not proud of doing this but thought it was necessary at the time), and tried to come up with an "excuse" or a delay and said I will tell you tomorrow after the movie we are going to watch soonish because it is a very difficult thing to explain to him.

Bob happily agreed with me (Luckily!!!).

In a nut shell I am afraid he is going to BATTLE with this parents about religion and freedom issues about prearranged marriages and all that.

So I really don't know what to say to this extremely brilliant, upbeat and bright little boy.

It is like Bob is an alien from another Dimension!! :D

I am trying hard to say what is best for him at his current stage of development in life.

I am a little concerned.

I wonder if his parents will dampen his spirit and this makes me pretty angry but I will not do anything stupid so don't stress but this still makes me angry.

When I see Bob, I see myself.

Christianity was forced upon me when I was very young.

I did not like Christianity as a youngster as it was forced upon me but does have it's good points,

(I AM NOT PICKING ON ANY ONE HERE REMEMBER THIS PLEASE)


I feel for you Bob.

I think he will have many battles and struggle for his freedom and rights sadly and have arguments with his parents just like I do even still today.

Anyway

I just want him to enjoy the movie today and let him relax a little because Bob can be very well... how do I say this?

Strung Out, Bob worries a lot about everything! ;)

I will try to answer his questions without causing serious conflict with his folks and say "Listen to your parents they love you very much ;)"

I wish life was easier at times

Sigh :(

Hang in there Stinky, we're all friends here. :D
Glad you're back at work AND on AF. I was getting a little worried for a bit you wouldn't return. Nice to see our resident roach in the house. :star:

:D

Thanks dreadnatty08 buddy! :)

You are right, take it slow! ;)

I need to leave in the next hour or so, I know I am leaving slightly early for my awesome little occupation but I do like the kids and all that! :D

I really do look forward to after care every day now! :D

Tomorrow I will play this song just for Bob :)

WHAT an awesome day!

I think Bob really liked that film!

SCORE

He had A LOT of questions about the movie today,

I also put up on the Chalk board a famous quote by Zig Ziglar (apparently by him):

"Your attitude determines your altitude in life"

:)

They all liked that one those that understood, and I explained it to those that didn't really 200% understand :D

LOL

Free Philosophy lessons too!!

xD
