Sakura cut herself in lab today. Though we were working with refrigerated specimens, the sight of frog guts shook her enough to prompt a mistake. It would have been an adorable reaction had she not screamed in my face.
Perhaps I'm asking too much of a thirteen year old girl.
When I asked Sakura what happened, she sheepishly told me that the "guts look so much wetter in person than they do in the text book." I couldn't hold my laughter. "Of course," I told her. "You can't find all the answers you want in a pretty scroll. School may work that way—not real life." She forced a smile and finished the lab. What a cute girl.
What a cute, terribly naive girl.
