Our House

Recall the song….

“Our house is a very very very fine house; with two (butt ugly!) chickens in the yard, life used to be so hard, but not its almost harder without power…”

Ok, so I changed the words a bit….

We do have very excellent wall deco. In one corner we have the “photo door”. We removed a door from the bathroom (remember the closet with a hole in the floor?), hung traditional fabric in the recesses, and then hung photos. It is swell.

On another wall is our collection of colored pages (yes, we color, with crayons), and alongside the bright masterpieces we have a rectangle of paper duck taped with care, where we record quotes from our daily interactions. Here are a few giggles for you:

“The man just said you guys are going to grow old in the village. I told him I think you already are.” - MHS

“I like too much sodium chloride on my pumpkin” - S1 boy

Symmetry = Where people are buried

“That is a true lie!” – S4 boy

“I would NOT love to meet them” – response from a student when I asked if he wanted me to introduce him to a group of visitors.

“As we see it, you are quite valuable. Many cows.” – S6 boys to me

“Labek: Warrior Princess. Prepare to meet your fate!” – DWR

Anytime we need a giggle, or a reminder of all the good times, we head to the quote wall. All in all, our decorations make our house a very very very fine house.
