One fine morning this week while my kids in Sec.2 were preparing their oral, I had two young men talking and asking me questions while they were working.
We were talking about the subject of our project ( legends and other scary stuff ) when P.M.S came about.
" Annie, do you get S.P.M ? "
To that I honestly answered " Well I don`t get S.P.M but I do get P.M.S though "
They candidly asked me if I would get cranky during P.M.S and I told them like any normal woman, I would get very cranky sometimes. It wasn`t always pretty.
It`s amazing what kind of questions I get sometimes.
I think it`s hilarious , very interesting and cute.
My kids ask me all kinds of stuff : the worst thing I did when I was in high school, the stupidest thing I `ve done ( Do you have an hour ? ), best memories, if I wanted kids all my life, why did I become a teacher etc.
I love answering those questions because the questions reflect the student or the person.
And I figure it takes some guts to ask certain questions ( like the P.M.S ones )to your teacher , you might as well answer them honestly.
And I always wonder : if he`s asking about P.M.S, is it because mom at home is P.M.Sing and it`s not pretty, is his new girlfriend in that period at the moment and wants to know will it ever stop one day.
I kind of rained on his parade with my answer huh ?
I often tell my kids in class " boys, write this down: Never ask a woman 3 things :
#1- Her age
#2- Her weight
#3- " Could you be P.M.Sing ? "
Unless you want a bloody nose.
And as my two boys were complaining about girls and their P.M.S, I answered : " At least WE have a good exxcuse for being cranky, us girls are still waiting for yours...."and I grinned from ear to ear.
They smiled back ( not too convincingly )and that was the end of that conversation.
The subject was quickly changed.
So for you boys.
Here`s more on P.M.S.

No, I hate doubt : )
But asking questions is a sign
of intelligence, no ?
There's too much questions
without answer, so I try to answer to the one I can easily. Am I that complicated? well, according to me yes.
another big week :( ooh : (
I dont have time for me this weekend, and this week neither.
You dont know who much I need to sleep, to take time for me and just to stop answering questions... I have to much things to think about. And I hate that.
Good weekend too xxx
Hey Annie, I haven't came here for a while! You know, I'm so happy to see you now, for an hour, two times a week. But I miss the time it was, two times a day :). I've missed you so much! You know, I would like to see you and talk to you after a class. But I just don't know what to tell you. I'm coming to your desk and I'm asking myself: ok, do I have something to say...No. so I will go.. I think that in secondary two, I had more things to say. Maybe not interesting..But I had something... But I will go all the same 'cause I really want to talk to you :).
I love you :) Have a good night.
Roxanne xxxx
