Today was a perfect example of Murphy's law how everything goes wrong just when you need them to be right.
The school's photographer had come today for individual and group photo shoot of children.
We all including the parents had been informed well in advance and so accordingly all the children had come in beautiful dresses and nicely brushed out and styled hair.
My group however was ill fated today to have all the mishaps. And they began with Sv..!!!
Early in the morning Sv's mother rang up the school to inform that Sv was ill so wouldn't come to school but because she wanted him to be in the group photo so he will come just in time for the photo shoot and then go home again.
He came in with his mother when our group was having toilet time and we were looking after the kids. Sv started howling and refused to enter. After a lot of persuasion she managed to leave him with us and went away and he resumed his wailing and howling and then hardly 5-8 minutes later started throwing up mercilessly. He covered all his clothes, shoes, floor and even the walls with his puke and continued throwing up and crying at the same time. It was so difficult to manage him with the puke all over the toilet room and the rest of the kids still not finished with their toilets and the photographer waiting for us in the hall..Em and Mk resourcefully took our children away to their room while we quickly rang his mother to come and take the sick child back home. Fortunately she came back within 10 minutes and then we had a nice argument with her. She was telling us she had brought him only for the photo and we said she shouldn't have brought him if he was unwell; the photo was not so important.
His mother spoke so rudely this time that had we not been so busy, we could have found it hard to ignore and forget. I feel she will now remove her child from this school.
Then it was little Ot, a new child. He had been specially dressed in a new, special Turkish traditional dress especially for the photo. He managed to full his diaper with poo which exploded and spoiled his white pathan kurta type shirt from the back. When we had been busy in Sv affair he had escaped with Em and Mk without getting his diaper changed and hence the accident.
Then a series of other smaller mishaps. Fr scratched her best friend Ll's face which produced a red swollen mark; Mk was rocking on his wooden rocking horse and fell down along with it and got a red mark too on his forehead; Tk was terribly moody and refused to do anything but cry, cry and cry for noooooo reason. Same with Ml who appeared sad and unsettled for some reason and kept breaking into a cry now and then.
Then finally when we started having the photo shoot, all the children who normally always laugh and smile refused to do so in front of the camera, one sticking out her tongue constantly which she had never done before, and one looking unmistakably angry with a clear scowl pointed at the poor photographer and little Mx refused to sit down at all for the group photograph....
