, that he never fought against anything, never participated in political activities and was interested in cultural issues only. (My father was not his "best friend", but knew him personally.) One of my students was the most excited about the idea of smuggling the texts from and into the prison. (I assume the mentioned poem was written in the prison.) The "romanticism" is natural for his age (12). Let it be. He is on a more or less calm continent...
Though she has nothing against me personally, on the last lesson we talked friendly. 
Yesterday Klavka brought home a big sheet of black construction paper with white silhouettes on it. For the dummies-parents these spermatosoids were labeled as ghosts. The other paper was not related to the event - that was an information on head lice. The school are looking for volunteers to hunt the beasts in the class. No experince needed, training is provided.

We were late to the Textile Museum, but ate a nice set of sushi, drunk sake, bought a doll from a series of nationalities of China - in a costume of Hui nationality, as Klavka chose it looking at the dresses and not at the characters , visited lots of thrift shops, Baobeir and I visited Condom Shack taking turns. ) Luckily, it looks like some adrenaline released during my assignments doesn't slow down my brain but accelerates its work. ) I can afford myself doing that.
