Bella-ville
One day when I was sick, my students came
over to the house with fruit and flowers, to cheer me up. They also got to meet
the famous Miss Bella.
They've also met Russell as he picks me up from work every night and students and staff are so impressed at this kindness. They think (and I agree) that I am so lucky to have such a nice man. And then some women tell me: "MY husband would never pick ME up from work!".
Anyway, every class I get asked how Russell and Bella are. Very sweet.
So we were doing an activity in class the other day and the students had to think of what they would take with them on a deserted island. They made a list and then gradually had to narrow it down to 2 items.
I was then asked which 2 items I would take with ME to this island. But the students immediately answered for me: Russell and Bella! Umm... definitely Russell but Bella... ? Moving along...
Then the students made up this imaginary scenario of Bella's life on the island. First she was going to meet some wild dogs and make friends and also find a husband and have lots of semi-wild babies. But she was going to be so popular that she would be very powerful on the island. Then she'd become the President. Yes!!! President Bella! And the country will be called the Socialist Republic of Bella. No, wait! The United States of Bella! The United Bella-dom! The Commonwealth of Bella! And what about the capital city? Bella-noi? New Bella City?
Fortunately, they stopped short of world-domination. That would've given Bella waaayy too much of a power-trip.
P.S. Speaking of presidents.... one of our lovely VN staff was talking about a new male teacher. "He's quite cute," she said. "He looks like George W. Bush". Girl's really gotta get out more.
