Last week, at the end of the day I saw one of my students wasn’t done with her math so I went over and sat by her desk because she was needing a little extra attention. She starts telling me that her mom had a baby while we were off track and the baby can’t come home yet because she’s too little.
So I tried to ask her some questions but she didn’t understand or know the answers—especially in English. Then she starts saying “Teacher you are soo nice. Teacher your are the best teacher. Teacher you never yell at us. (Yeah Right) Teacher I love you I wish you were my mom.” I’ll admit it’s a little flattering. Then she asks me “Teacher why you have no daughter?” and I just smiled at her. Then her eyes got really big “Teacher I know…” and she was pinching her index finger and her thumb together and she said “Teacher my mom gets this thing and when you use it if it gets an X you get a baby but if it gets a zero…not baby! “ Then she looks at me so seriously and says “Teacher you NEED one of these!!”
I am positive she went home and asked her mom if she could buy me one of those sticks with the magic X so I can have a baby. I’ve been laughing for days.

HA HA HA! I love it!
PS. Sorry about the snow today. That's a bummer.
Is that all you have to do? Maybe teaching my daughters the birds and the bees someday won't be so hard after all!
Saw your link on Anika's blog and HAD to check it out (and Tara's too)!
This made me laugh so hard...I'm still laughing! Kids truly say the funniest things. It was good to read what you've been up to. I'm sure I'll be back!
If you interested...email me, tilleea@gmail.com and I'll send you an invite to my blog. Sorry, I'm one of those paranoid people. ;)
