h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So called because you shouldn't come in unless you have a thick skin. You have been warned.

Now what were we talking about before it all started?

Many answers can be found with a good rant and rave. Anyway I teach small children for a living. I believe thats what you requested last before distractions. And you teach /have taught large adults?

Yah, we've taught children a little, adults quite a lot. Mostly, we taught during the two years we took 'off' after finishing school at 17, and before going to uni at 19. So we were a very young adult, to be teaching. We did a fair amount of lecturing and giving presentations and what is called 'facilitating' group meetings of families as well as other groups. We loved working as a counselor with abused and neglected adolescent girls, but that was the job that let to all the repressed memories erupting all over the place.

We ended up crashing and burning just a couple of years later, and have spent most of our 30s recovering from the thirty years that came before. It is a definite rip off.

We have to make some food. The kids are chanting, en masse 'Feed us, feed us, feed us!' When they start chanting, we're in trouble...

Thanks again. Marta left you a long note. She cut us out and let the other kids help her write it. Your words of appreciation for their poem meant the world to everyone.

gotta go feed them...
