OK - I have to admit. I was annoyed as hell. It was the second Saturday back at the Family Service Centre, the kids were restless, and the younger of the "L" brothers was running around and being disruptive.
I was really quite glad when he left the group to do his own thing. I had enough kids to work with.
After the morning's session, when all the kids had trooped off home with their Milo and sweets, I went to one of the student volunteers who spent time with L and gave him a sympathetic "you had to look after L huh? How was it?"
"Actually, pretty good," he said, throwing me for a loop. "We took him outside to the void deck. Found out he likes playing Chinese chess. So he's obviously intellectually bright. He just needs the individual attention so he's not bored."
Hmm. So much for snap judgements. Even with kids.
