....and Grace is the little girl that wouldn't wash her face. Well I don't know who Grace but I'm sure she learnt her lesson in the end.

one of my biggest attributes, I think, is patience.

You have to be patient to work with children, you have to be patient to work with people, right? So, patient I am. Very patient.

For me, there is nothing better than the look on a kids face when you've sat and listened to him tell you all about the beach. Even though you know that same beach like the back of your hand. Even though you've also touched on subjects such as his mum's allergies and his teddy bear's favourite food, halfway through the beach story. Even though you needed to wee about 20 minutes ago, before his story started and you know that you have a cup of tea waiting for you if you could. just. end. this. story (!)

Patience...

When it takes 20 minutes to load one page so you can check your emails.

From another friend when you're in another country and can't chat and talk like we would usually. (x thank you)

Because someone who's on your mind, is trying to keep you off theirs.

When talking to that person who's on your mind is like doing a foxtrot, (quick, slow, quick, quick, slow...)

When maybe you disagree with someone you have to spend a lot of time with.

When you have three days left before you can go home and spend a few hours with your family.

Patience...
