Fragments of session 2 - Leuven A story from my past Teacher Of course, I could tell you about my parents' divorce or about the day our fourth child was diagnosed being 'mentally disabled', but I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'd like to tell you about something very strange that happened to me when I was fifteen. At the time I had to undergo two successive operations at my feet, (…)I was taken into the operating theatre, then administered an anaesthetic and I remember falling asleep immediately. Imagine my surprise when some time later I opened my eyes and I could hear the surgeon and the nurses talk to one another and I even saw instruments being passed on above my head. (…)Afterwards they told me I was a difficult person to anaesthetize (…)So , next time I have to be anaesthetized I'll warn the doctors in advance ... Ann (back to top) Students Are you in the mood for something special? Well, here's my story... When I was about 5 years old, I was going for a walk with my little brother and sister by the jungle of Singapore, where I lived at that time. On our way home, we saw something lying in the middle of the road, it was black and looked like a fallen leaf, but when we came near it we saw that it was a black snake. My mother had told me the black snakes were very poisonous and dangerous. I whispered to my brother and sister that we should start running on my sign, I gave the sign and we began running like crazy, we kept on running for about 200 meters and we didn't look back. But when we had done so we should have seen the snake was actually just staying where it was. When I think back of this I have to laugh because I realise the snake was probably dead. Jeroen (back to top) I'm going to tell a story that took place about 10 years ago. I was at my aunt's with my sister. She was riding a hometrainer. I was 5 years old and I absolutely wanted to ride on it, but my sister wouldn't let my. So I found nothing better then putting my thumb on the chain (it was a rather old bike so the chain wasn't covered). That of course wasn't a smart move. My thumb went up with the chain. Luckily my sister(the youngest one->Leen) was smart enough to pedal back so my thumb wouldn't fall off totally. We went to the hospital, and there they stitched my thumb back on. Jan (back to top)
