What is your King?
When you're a student
Theory is King.
We discuss theory,
We are tested on theory,
And all of our knowledge
Is theoretical.
But when the time comes
And you are face-to-face
With a 5-year-old boy,
Theory goes out the window.
Suddenly, your new King
Is a small stuffed bear
Or a bottle of bubbles
Or whatever it is you can use
To keep his attention
And give him the help he needs.
This is when theory
Becomes reality.
This is when you grow up.
