My students continue to crack me up. I was super sore at school today from last night's ballet class (took dance all throughout high school but not during college so it's been over four years and I am back at it!) and when I got up from my chair after Read Aloud (Ramona Quimby, Age 8), I winced (and may have gasped from the pain). My student who will remain nameless but let's call him Class Clown...responds with:
"Miss H, are you getting old ALREADY?! My mom makes that face a lot and she says it's because she is older than the hills...!"
I think my students want to believe I am still a teenager (read: their bestest friend). One of my little Taylor Swift or Hannah Montana (take your pick) "Wanna-Be"s invited me to her sleepover last weekend.
I hated to decline...but I didn't think they could hang with me for an all night girl bash. Sad truth: I had to explain that I am their teacher and would love to hear about their weekend once we return to school on Monday. BORING. And I hated to burst their bubble.
But something sweet to end on this evening...

I'm glad you're back blogging friend. I love hearing about your funny kiddos. Also glad to hear the boy made it there safe.

Ramona Q is my FAVORITE! I dressed up as her for Halloween one year :)
Aveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Just wanted to let you know that I found you from CB's blog... can't wait to read your posts :-*
I work with teenagers, and it's the same sort of thing. I look really young, so they want to think I'm one of them.
