What I miss most about going to school while we're stuck home due to the cold is my little daily game of finding where the younger kids dragged the octopuses off to

These are Methodius, Paphnutius, and Martha. Often the only things in our entire school building keeping me sane

#no I wasn't the one who named them #methodius was the first. just one of the toys they have lying around for the younger kids. an ex friend of mine named him #after a nickname her brother had. for some reason. his name is arseniy idk how he got that nickname #I missed how paphnutius came to be #one of the teachers of the younger grades must've bought him #and named him that bc it kinda matches with methodius #he's the most deformed since the younger kids wanted to see if it was possible to see both faces at the same time #cause these are the kinds of toys where you can turn them inside out and they'll be a different colour and have a frowny face or smth #then this year on Halloween my favourite teacher gave Martha as a gift to the school #decided the octopuses needed a girl in their group #named her Martha since apparently we're now going for russian orthodox names #and yeah I know all three of those have different origins #but they were very commonly used in churches and monasteries and the like #so.. yeah there's a theme going on there #also idk if octopuses or octopi is the correct term and honestly I don't care #what matters is that I miss these guys #I like putting one of them on my head and just chilling in lessons like that #cause why not?#okay nia its 5 a.m go to bed #me being sick fucked up my sleep schedule so badly..
