Sniffing...

The things kids do are strange - if you've been reading my blog, you probably have gathered that! Anyways, in the past week, I have had two kids sniff me. One kid was walking around me running his nose all over my back and arms (yeah kinda gross, I know) and today one little girl wouldn't stop sniffing my arm. Other teachers have told me they've had kids do this as well. I wonder why they do it? It's not a bad smell thing (I think??) - I wonder if they just do it to foreign teachers, because they're curious about us? One of my classes that I teach - I'm the only foreign teacher they've ever had - today the boys were full on trying to lift up my shirt. I had to make them put their hands up and apologise to me for it... It's a strange line to walk with kids, because you want to let them know that certain behaviour isn't okay - but on the other hand, they don't mean anything malicious by it - they're just curious!
