the youth

The kids told me that today they had to do a self-esteem survey. They are asked what they like, don't like about school, and how they feel about life in general. I had no idea they did this sort of thing. I asked the kids what they liked/didn't like.
Senor Onion said, "I like going into the ICT suite, (that is the computer lab) math, and playing with my friends. I don't like having to get up in the morning."
Miss Biscuit said, "I LOVE EVERYTHING! I love math! I love books! I love being with my friends! I don't hate anything!!! EXCLAMATION POINT!!!"
Well okay.

At dinner there was more talk about Star Wars. Senor Onion told me his friend Gaia said that she thinks he looks like Kylo Ren which made him laugh. He does have shaggy dark hair and very pale skin. Though he isn't as inclined towards having tantrums. (Gaia has a very obvious crush on him and has had one on him since year one. He is oblivious to this fact.) His friends have taken to playing Star Wars at school on the playground. Mostly it involves running around and pretending to fight with light sabers.
I listened to the kids explain who their favorite characters were. Lotta strong feelings about Han Solo in Miss Biscuit's corner.
