"Mommie, you're so mean!" (Toyah)
Last night I snapped and smacked her, then told her in no uncertain terms that she'll have to dress herself from now on. This morning I dressed her in her shoes and coat (it's snowing) - over her pjs and threatened to drag her to kindergarten half naked. She's now moping but getting dressed. I'm fed up with acting like her servant.

Today I'm teaching English again. We are learning fairy tale words. Last week my little class learnt sentences like: The dragon lives in the forest. The dragon marries the unicorn (great hilarity) and the prince lives in the castle. This week we'll add adjectives. They know all the colors already, it's just a matter of sticking them into the sentences.

My translation is not going as fast as I'd like. *panics*
Maybe it's because I'm addicted to Tina's Pokemon game? I love her little gameboy. Mother and daughter bond over discussions about monsters and where to get them. LOL.
Tina hates her cheerleading practice. I'm not surprsised. The young trainers are horrendously inept. I feel tempted to find a sports teacher somewhere who can show them the ropes. Bleeding amateurs! Of course I have to find out now - I doubt we can cancel the contract now. I think we're stuck with paying for another year. *sigh*

Right, looks like Toyah is dressed and ready to go. Toodles.

The dragon marries the unicorn...

Am I the only one suddenly overwhelmed with desire to read this fairy tale? :)

Heee.
I often make sentences that are wrong. It amuses them greatly. Kids....
Today I'll dig out my secret Playmobil stash and we'll enact a fairy tale. Who knows, the dragon and unicorn might indeed marry. :-)

If they do marry, you should recap the tale for us in your LJ. :) Mmm, transgressive fairytale love.
