Today was like any day teaching mad science at Lycee Internationale French Academy, full of yelling, screaming children. Halfway through class, a child who was frustrated with his experiment threw the glass mason jar he was using on the ground (Why they supply them with glass is beyond me). The kids then screamed and rushed forward to pick up the shards with their bare hands.
"Freeze" I bellowed as loud as I could.
I then told Matisse to get a broom. This proved to be a bad idea as Matisse returned wielding the broom (which was 3 times his height) like a joust and attempting to spear other classmates. I got it from him and then proceeded to sweeping when I noticed a wet sort of tingle on my elbow.
Sophia, my naked child, had in fact clamped her jaws down on my elbow in an effort to no doubt give me french rabies. In a happier time this would have shocked and disgusted me, but I've grown and I simply removed the child from the crook of my arm and continued sweeping.
