I'm still rocking the challenge and making no excuses. Monday and Tuesday saw no exercise beyond the normal activity level of my job (going up and down various flights of stairs, jumping, cheering, clapping...it's a fun job). But I'm on target for water and eating. I'm not whining. I'm not licking.
But yesterday I was playing a Christmas game with a class of Grade 3s (so 8 or 9 year olds). The game was pretty active and kids can wear themselves out playing it. Which is one reason why I play it. It takes fifteen minutes, gets the kids repeating new vocabulary like nobody's business, and runs the little suckers into the ground! Woot! Then we can calmly draw Christmas pictures for the rest of the class! Yay! Anyhoo, one student was really thrilled with the game. He had a great time and was laughing and giggling the whole way through. When his turn finished, he came and stood next to me and help my hand. He was swining my hand for a while. But then he picked up my hand........
and licked it.
I HAVE BEEN LICKED!!!
Now I'm worried this is going to trigger a whole lot of licking cravings of my own. I managed to refrain from licking him back. But how long can I resist?? There are so many adorable students who might need a good lick. A couple teachers too, but maybe that's a little different. But where will the madness end? Once of licked my students....what next? The clerk at the 7-11? The guy who pumps my gas? People waiting for a bus? Are there a there any suppliments I can take to help curb the cravings?
How is everyone else doing?
