Sometimes (many times) when you have spent the entire day dealing with one uppers, deflecting talk about Juvie Jail, and using the "Germ Defense", you tend to become a bit (a lot) un-relaxed, prone to frustration, and just ready to cut to the point of any interaction. Other times, you become silly, flighty, or sarcastic. Either way, by the end of a rough day (hour), adult conversation can become a difficult thing. Often, during these points, I find myself making a lot of body noises, grunts, and hand motions to interact with other adults in my attempt to communicate successfully. Sometimes, I even turn into Han Solo.
Near the end of one recent day, a parent came in to talk with the counselor. I could tell that the parent was very nervous about how the proceeding conversation was going to be and the details that she was going to have to divulge. Seeing this hesitation and ready to move on with the conversation, I immediately threw my hands up into the air and said (like the scoundrel I am) "Don't worry lady, I've seen it all".
Yep, that's me. 28 years old. 5-8. Han Solo Educator. Seen. It. All.
