Post 1644. Thursday April 5
My Friend Rosey has been a feature of my blog since I set it up twelve years ago. To read all about her in 200 or so words, click HERE
Rosey adores kids. Let’s face it, she’s still one herself at heart, so when she heard a local junior school needed a teacher’s assistant she just had to apply. Fortunately, Mummy was one of the school governors and able to pull strings!
She got the job. Her main tasks are to assist teacher Mrs. Brown, to aid the kids, and help maintain order. Problem is, she sometimes forgets she’s there to work and reverts to a child herself! She prefers sitting on the mat with the youngsters to perching on a chair, and loves flicking paint at the children and pulling funny faces when Mrs. Browns’ back is turned! The other day she even raised her hand when she wanted to go to the toilet.
Staff members don’t normally take part in the schools’ annual nativity play, but last year the mini-thespians of year three threatened strike action if Miss Rosey didn’t go on stage with them. The headteacher relented and Rosey got the non-speaking role of third palm tree from the right!
Rosey rarely visits the staff room, preferring to spend every break in the playground skipping and chasing around. Needless to say, she’s the most popular kid in school!

love seeing her as the palm tree – by the students’ insistence nonce the less.
Rosy is fully alive…
brings Enjoyment to the Employment
Perfectly put Prior! Cheers
She would be a great addition to any school!

She certainly would – she makes education fun!
This was absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the chuckle early in the morning, Keith.

Delighted to have amused you Vrad!
Hi Keith – Rosey the star of the show… and being a palm tree – she couldn’t hide behind it, nor do palm trees talk, or skip or sing … but Rosey knows the tricks .. cheers Hilary
I’m sure she put her own spin on it – literally probably! Thanks Hilary.
Lovely story, Keith. The school kids are lucky to have Rosey around. I wish I had a teacher like her in my school days. Great anecdotes.
School doesn’t have to be serious all the time! Thanks Moon.
Best teacher – one who is a child herself. Cheers to Rosey the Palm tree.

It’s what known as total empathy! Cheers Kalpanaa
Rosey sounds like the perfect teaching assistant – for the children!
I imagine Mrs. Brown sometime wonders if she’s perfect!
Reliving her childhood, what fun!

Jobs don’t come much better than that! Cheers Iain
Her palm tree was the one that looked like it was blowing in the tropical breeze. Such a fun job and perfect for Rosie.

That was partly because she has a sneezing fit halfway through! Thanks Emily.
Third palm tree from the right! – LOL!

She’s hoping for principal sheep next time!
I must meet Rosey. She is full of sunshine. We have a lesson to learn from her…let the child in the heart be child, never let it grow!
She is the kind of friend we could all do with but seldom find. Thanks so much, Anagha.
Lovely – it’s nice to see some flash fiction that isn’t all doom and gloom with a twist at the end sending the story round the front and bending it backwards… Liz http://www.poetryroundabout.com
This is exactly why I choose to write humorous pieces each year for A-Z. A few giggles and not a corpse or alien in sight! Thanks Liz.
I’ve known teachers like Rosey. What fun.
I wish I had! Thanks, Jacqui
She’s the type of teacher that I always enjoyed. I love the palm tree – the perfect actress!
Definitely a contender in the Educationall Oscars!
A true kid at heart! <3

Rosie is the kind of teacher assistant every child wants in the class!
She certainly makes their time there fun! Thanks mimi.
Reblogged this on poetry penned in moon dust.
Thank you so much.
I so want to meet her now 🙂
She’s certainly fun to be around! Cheers Anurag
Such a sweet post, am sure the kids love her for being one among them.
…being one among them and one of them! Thanks so much.
She’s a joy!
That she is Sascha. Thank you.

Rosey sounds positively adorable! 🙂
She certainly is! Thanks for dropping by.
Rosie seems to be in her element with the mini-thespians – wonderful!
She certainly is Diedre! Cheers.
What a fun teacher to have. No wonder the kids love her.
She really is one of them!
