Zerin is back! She and her entire family's been stuck in London with a visa re-entry problem since the end of March, and boy have I missed this doll! She's a little one- so tiny, she weighs about the same as a one-year-old baby, and her tiny hand can barely hold one of our fat wooden pencils. As frustrating as it was to be her teacher, I've missed the way she stares dreamily at me from her seat, a pencil in one hand, lifeless and un-writing, her chin in the other, her huge almond-shaped eyes vacant as a parking lot after closing hour, a thin fountain of hair springing from the top of her tiny head. Academically, she was in deep doodoo, having missed so much of the last term, but it's good to have her back with us.
