It’s funny no matter how grumpy they are, if I can make them smile I have their attention, then they can learn. You can’t teach someone in a bad mood, they are not as open to new ideas. Some days our staff rooms rocks with laughter, not always, as there is so much to do, but we do laugh quite a lot.
So here are the lovely Kate’s questions:
Jack said stroke a crocodile, he knows this is my biggest phobia, so again; never going to happen. They both said I am generally a silly person so they struggled with thinking of something silly for me to do that I hadn’t done, hmmm. But do you know what I am glad they ee me as a fun person and not boring.
There you go, laughter is so important to feel great, it is a kind of therapy that can change the moods of those around you. I don’t think I ever even go half a day without laughing, even if I am in a bad mood. Thanks Kate for setting another great topic.
Great post! I love a good laugh too – my Hubby is quite funny (don’t tell him I said that!!) and so we laugh a lot. It can be tiring day-to-day life but as you say it’s a kind of therapy too that it much needed! 🙂 x x
Thanks Jess, yes it just makes you feel so much better doesn’t it x
This is a good post! Lovely to read about how happy you are, that’s really nice & sort of inspirational. I want to be happy again 🙂
Thank you Caroline, ah I do hope you will be very soon x
I enjoyed reading this post and I am so pleased laughter is a big part of your life both at work and in the home. I so wish you had hooked up with John Bishop and on stroking the crocodile well never say never!
Yes Kate I should have been braver, and as for the crocodile the thought of it makes me feel ill x
I enjoyed reading this too, but was really struck by the statement “You can’t teach someone in a bad mood, they are not as open to new ideas.” I think there’s a blog post in that too x
Ah thank you, and yes I bet there is a post there actually x
You sound a really happy family and I love your comment about teaching people when they are happy, I think it is so important that pupils have that kind of relationship with their teachers. Hope you have a lovely week x
Thanks Cathy, we are and yes I hope my boys have the relationship with their teachers that I have with my students x
