Kidnapped!

I opened my organiser this morning and a smile came to my face. “Happiness is always a by-product…But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”


Today at lunchtime I was kidnapped by a group of 2nd grade students. Imagine a group of 7-year olds who have probably never seen a foreigner this close and all of them seemed to think the same thing and the same time; “I want to play with this weird alien thing.”

So I got pulled into a game of tag and, of course, they all wanted to tag me! It was another hot day today and just as I was thinking how I could escape the game, I was suddenly surrounded by the other 2nd graders who had decided to be my protectors! It was so cute to have my own little bodyguards.

It was cute until one of the girls holding my hand, decided to see how hard she could pinch me before I yelled – damn kids!
