The dangers of teaching shortys

This story is a favorite of all the teachers in Korea. Before I begin, I must give a little background. When teaching the kindergarten children, you have to be on guard at all times. Their about half my height, and so my crotch is an all-to-easy target for them. Many times I've been punched in that painful spot by the boys, and some of my girls will often poke. There is one class that has been yelled at by us many a time because they sneak up behind you and will poke you in the butt. That's when we get angry, when we can't even try to defend ourselves. Anyways, these moments are best when you see another teacher get smacked. The kids have no idea what they did, they're just playing like always and then, out of nowhere, the teacher gets really upset. I had my most awkward and yet hilarious crotch shot last week. I was doing story time with my kindergarteners and I have them sit on the floor while I sit up on a chair and we read the story together. Jenny, definitely the most physically affectionate of my students, was crowding me up front and I had to keep sitting her back down so I could read. She likes to hug and kiss me and that's always nice but on this occasion she went too far. I finally had her sitting and I began the book. I had just finished reading the title, "Where Is My Bone?" when she leaped up, a sudden shriek and took two handfuls of my not-to-be-touched place. (I'm not lying, that really was the title of the story!). I jumped up, yelled something like "Woah No" and nearing fell over laughing. The Korean helper was also falling off her chair laughing. I don't even think she understood the irony of Jenny's timing, but it was hilarious nonetheless. I couldn't recover after that. I had them all go sit back down in their chairs and proceeded to read the story behind the safety of a table. I've heard many such stories from teachers here, but none sofar can top the irony of this one.
