Between every class she stands by the door to usher in the new teacher, carrying their books or just giving them the customary (between women anyway) kiss on the right cheek.
Last Friday 5A presented for Chapel (4th-6th grades assemble in the church each Friday). We'd practiced skits all week long in answer to the question ''How does God take care of us every day?'' Diana was the ''spokesperson'' for her group so she took the microphone when I called up Group 1.
Her classmates performed their skit, complete with embarrassed looks and an incredible amount of giggling, while Diana said things like, ''God helps us by giving us a mom to take care of us.'' At the very end Diana turned to me. Her hands waved violently and she whispered in panic, ''Miss, they're not doing what they're supposed to do!!!'' Diana looked back and forth from her confused classmates on stage to her teacher, who was trying desperately not to laugh. Finally she threw up her hands, put her hand on her hip, and basically gave up. In confusion, the group finally sat down.
Diana practically ran back to her seat, holding on to the other girls, almost dead with embarrassment--at least, that's what she told me. Haha!
