The staff lounge was starting become one of Rebecca’s favorite places. She thought this as she drank her mid-afternoon cup of coffee; black with more sugar then she cared to admit. She enjoyed her classes and going home to Olivia. But sometimes she felt surrounded by nothing but kids. Here she could talk to fellow staff members-adults, or even just listen to adult conversations around her. It was a comfort to know she wasn’t alone in her adult concerns, adult problems, and adult interests.
Granted, most of the talk was generally about children. She thought this with a grin. Rebecca felt herself talk about her daughter to the point of it being tiresome to the listener…but she can’t help it. Rebecca just can’t believe what a good girl she is. Straight A’s in school and so gifted for a ten year old. She is participating in a play soon, Wizard of Oz, and joined in all on her own. So independent, intelligent, and growing into a beauty in her own right. Rebecca couldn’t help but swell with pride at the thought of her Olivia.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of another staff member. She wondered if perhaps she should get a small group together to go out… but maybe she would just stay in and sort out student paperwork...maybe catch the last episode of Adventure Time.
She smiled.
