Cl's gift

Today during the morning circle, Cl announced to the children that she was leaving and unexpectedly we both broke down. The children stared at us in confusion and amazement as they peered at us to see how we were talking in unsteady voice and wiping our tears. 

 I have packed a big school bear, school socks, school cd, school tattoo strip, and a children's school Tshirt and school cap in a large box. The box looks really very beautiful. I plan to give this gift box as a prank.  She will be visibly disappointed to see this silly gift because none of the items can be used by her. And then when everybody has given their gifts, I will produce the real gift: the big flower vase with teacher's messages and stuffed with chocolates and three little bears wearing a ribbon with names of Cl, Asy and mine written on them and the calender with her pictures. 

As to Swarovski gift, I am undecided when to give that. Definitely not in front of the whole staff as everybody would become jealous especially people like Mz who can publicly comment that I never gave such a gift to them. Maybe just before the party or just after...

I hope she will like the gift...

Mch is having the time of her life. flinging her nose in air, least bothered about the agony she is causing to quite a number of people and conceited, complacent, haughty and nonchalant she is a singular example of those people who believe in living for themselves. I don't really know her enough to say this but her expressions make me think maybe she is like this; and of course the others give the same opinion.
Today, Jln was absent so Mch was sent to work with Mk. When I went to pick up H and asked how she liked her day today, she blurted
"Ya, I liked it very much. I hope I will be here tomorrow as well as Jln can't become well so soon. I hope I get to come here tomorrow too."
Well, I should make some allowance to the fact that she is a German and does not know English that well. Maybe she was really sympathetic to Jln but used just the wrong words out of her ignorance in this language.
