Day Number Seven: 11th Grade Service Project

Well, looking back now I suppose I should have suspected it would happen sooner or later, considering the age group that I am working with, but I was still very surprised when one of the kids in the morning session bit me. Luckily, the teeth did not break the skin, and the bite did not really hurt, but I was shocked that a little kid would try to take a chomp on my arm. In fact, the dialogue immediately went something like this: I said, "You bit me!", Him: "Yep (with a cheery matter-of-fact manner).", Me: "That wasn't right!", Him: "Maybe, but it was funny! (cheerily again)." Obviously I need to watch myself and try to make sure I never get into an argument with a little kid over the right way to turn off the classroom computer. Other than that incident, my day went normally, except for the fact that the Spiderman-obsessed children in the morning class now refer to me as, "The Green Goblin", when it is recess time.
