they will remember omelets

And what am I to make of these summer nights. Another school year has come to an end. Today, in their final class, the kids got their report cards and I asked them to choose what they would like me to draw on their report card. They could choose between Omelet, Smiley Face, or Heart. They could request to have the thing drawn in Orange, Green, or Purple. Most kids asked for Omelet. We talked about omelets a lot this year, and they thought I drew omelets very well. Omelet is our inside joke.

Another school year. Kids got candies. Some even managed to say things like "Thank you for teaching me." Some didn't know what was going on. I can't say for sure that I knew what was going on. But it was fun. And that's what's most important.

Kids grow up. They grow taller and they see new things and things become difficult and they learn bits and pieces more about themselves and how they fit within this whole web of life. The teacher stays in the classroom. This way, the teacher never gets old.
