I love life, life loves me. And you. And you. And… you get the point. Μάκια.

You also like to dance. Wave and sway like a rhythnic snake. So i think you just like life.

I don’t know which one is the better word because words are personal to begin with, but for me interacting with children is definitely primordial. I feel that as “pure” but it could just as well be “basic”. It’s interesting that you point out the reaction of Fillipino or Sri Lankan women in Cyprus. Children don’t normally give a toss about class or whatnot. I remember I used to love watching Bollywood movies with the Sri Lankan lady who for many years was partly responsible for raising me as a child and it was the adults who were uncomfortable with that kind of interaction (which my mum put a stop to). I think I love working with young children because there’s very little bullshit involved and very often it is they who define the terms of the interaction. Because my kids hardly speak any English, the non-linguistic part of communication becomes more prominent and they actually teach me many things about how to interact with adults.

it’s interesting, isn’t it, how the children of an unfamiliar society are the easiest to connect with, because the society hasn’t molded them yet with its ethical social political religious etc values. They’re like the purest (or perhaps better word – most basic) form of humanity and thus easier to engage with. I noticed it with how happy Sri Lankan or Fillipino women in Cyprus are when given a young child to babysit, not just happy out of latent motherhood, but because there’s a universal knowledge of how a child works, and the ease of its position alongside ‘you, the alien’.

This woman is married. Perhaps “experience” means “maturity”. She did say that her husband and her were too young to have a baby. (She’s twenty six.) I’m baffled because how can you gain experience at being a parent if you don’t just do it? Yet somehow grandparents magically know how to raise babies even though their babies were in turn raised by their parents…

how does one ‘gain experience’? is ‘experience’ the equivalent to ‘maturity’ or ‘having a partner’?

As the critic of course.
I am above criticism, naturally.

Also, wow, your mum is dedicated. Boobs do grow during our periods though. How convenient to have a bra for just then.

Dude. Go and get your boobs sorted. They need a proper prison to live in. Just roomy enough for them to think they can get away, yet tight enough to contain them. Get fitted and then go crazy getting cool stuff. Consider bravissimo. They are seriously well trained to find you the proper size, more so than Selfridges I find and they’re just around the corner from where you work. They also stock some nice stuff. Go there. Go on Monday. Honestly, I’m alright with bras. Seriously. I’m sensible. Though at some point I’ll need a bikini (and should probably get two to have a change though that’s just extravagant.) But if you start asking what you should send you will soon regret it. Well, alright since you ask. Chocolate (the Rococo sea salt one) and some hard to get books (unavailable online), and comic books. But I really don’t need anything. Though you could definitely send to the school some chocolate and Grant Morrisson’s New X-Men and I wouldn’t complain. xxx
