The new year began with the usual parade of students in and out of the office...
A little boy sat at the table near the office late one morning wearing his coat and backpack. As I approached him he said, "Gotta go home! I'm a pooper!". It turns out he had diarrhea.
One morning a 3rd grader who is learning English came to tell me that his sister would not be in school that day.
"Is she sick?" I asked.
He nodded, yes.
"What is wrong?"
He hesitated, thinking about how to describe her illness. Then he made a motion near his mouth. "She blew up," he answered.
