Slice of My Life - Year 3 Santa Clause Part 2
Today's situation is different, some how its not as normal as it is usually for my duties as a "Santa Clause" and because of that, i had a different feeling than what i would get normally after duty.
Was called by my manager to report for santa clause duty today at 3pm - 5pm at Prego, the Italian restaurant at the first floor of RTP, reknowned for its pasta and pizzas. Today however, they have a special function for kids from an orphanage. Where kids of different family back ground were send to this "home" (i call it a home as most kids there still atlease have contact with either of their parents.)
So when i was told that they were from orphanage, i at first thought they were pity kids, until i meet them then i reliased 1 thing, im being a idoit for passing judgement so early. They were down there waiting for the place to get ready. So i was asked to entertain them when i got shocked by the first few questions and things they throw cruely towards me....
You are not the real santa.
Look, i can see your face.
Are you really from Northpole?
Why are you so skinny.
Thats just a portion of the "Daggers" of innocence i have suffered. I tried to reason out with them and it ended up causing the atmosphere to stagnant.....
Luckly the sits were cleared and then they procced to their seats, following that is a magic show, i have to say that even i had fun watching it. Then following on is the meal while kids are getting food and also making their own pizza... which ended up in a mess.
What i rather want to say is that. From what i can see about the whole crowd, Kids around their level are rather exposed to partial of what i call "External World Influences" aka EWI. Theres some kids with a rather bad attitude, they ask for alot and keep insisting things going their way. But somehow i dun feel offended, rather i think i kinda pity them and give them loads of candies. Until the Lady which is incharge of them ask me not to.
What i feld the most is rather awakard in the 2 hours. I know im not good tackling with kids, but until the point where i do not know what to talk to them about, i feel that im kinda a loser. While i see other of my collegues having fun communicating with them, maybe i dun seem to beable to converse well about things i am not sure of.
Guess i need to pick up newer ways of conversing with kids, im ok with social phy but seems to fail at kids phy. Maybe thats 1 reason why some people i know now i cant seem to communicate with them well.... coz they are Big kids. Lol
