You win this time, Slide

Every month I go to teach English at a nursery school. I've been there for about six months now (Which sounds like a lot but really I've only been six times). I think that most of the kids enjoy me being there and also enjoy attempting to explain to me how to play games with them. Some games I understand, like Tag, where I'm a demon and they all have to run away from me. Of course there are "safe spots" and as long as they are there then I can't touch them. And being kids they obviously make the game rules in their favour so there are several of these "safe spots" all over the place. Sometimes they just touch things and go "Oh, this is a safe spot now". And another thing that they do is never stray a foot away from these spots so it's pretty much impossible for me to pass the demon-tag-it thing to another, but hey, they're kids and as long as they're having fun then I don't mind.

Today I finally got one of the boys who is more outgoing than the rest of them (Also is easily riled up and seems to be always looking for a way to make him seem like the leader or the best) and just like the last time I fell on my butt and hurt myself, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Obviously I think that things behind me should magically move out of the way when I walk backwards or something. Anyway I tripped and fell on the edge of the slide. And now I have a grapefruit sized bruise to show for it on my butt. I'm happy that I didn't land on my tailbone or anything, just on the flabby flab that is my butt, one of the largest areas of fat on my body. I could have, though since nearish to my tailbone is all sore, so I'm grateful it didn't happen or I'd be in a lot more pain than I am now.

Sitting down is somewhat painful though, but I hear that if I rub a vinegar soaked cotton ball all over the bruise that it will fade and heal faster. Let's see how that works.
