Children are agents of chaos. Part of that is just the fact that they don’t “know the rules” yet and are still figuring out how to do things. Like how NOT to spread plague and disease to everyone in the near vicinity. Then there are Minions of Chaos who have chosen that life. Whole heartedly on purpose.
Like Evan. Not his Korean name, but definitely his English name. There
is no innocence to protect here. I will name names.
Now, Evan is an adorable eight-year-old (Korean age) child.
He is a chunker with round cheeks and an adorable smile. He is also a talker
and definitely has tried to get his classmates (well, one in particular, who
may or may not have stabbed him with a pencil on purpose) in trouble. He is smart.
However, he has definitely decided to use that power for evil.
I had Evan in kindergarten last year for all of 2 months and
was so glad when he graduated, I left that school, and I would never have to
deal with him again.
God, and Korean Immigration, had other plans for me.
So, for 8 days, I have been back at my old school where Evan
comes 3 days a week after school for English lessons. Evan is the type of kid
who will hold his arm/fist a foot away from his face when he coughs. Which seems
to be ALL THE TIME.
I have just finally started sleeping through the night
without coughing a couple of weeks ago. But then the Minion of Chaos, being
fully loaded with a biological weapon, decided to, on purpose, cough without
covering his mouth. When reminded of what was told him DAILY just a month ago,
he laughed like the diabolical terrorist he is, and said he won’t be doing
that any more.
EXCUSE ME? I didn’t realize that germs stopped being spread when
a child graduates from kindergarten.
Now, I am once again sick and trying to desperately breath
through my nose, though that is a hit or miss battle. I KNOW it was from him.
Despite half of my other students being sick. No. It was the tiny terrorist and
his diabolical plan to get everyone within a ten meter radius sick.
Little jerk.
