Someday I think I'm going to write a book about what my students have said to me. When I was student teaching, I had a student ask me if I was married. I wasn't at the time so I said no. She said "Doesn't anybody love you?" I was floored. I didn't know what to say. Finally, I said that my parents loved me. It's fourteen years later and I still haven't forgotten that conversation.
Just this week, one of my Kinders told me "My heart is broken" in this very melancholy voice. I asked him if he knew what that meant. He told me that it's when you are very sad. I asked him why he was sad and he said "Oh, I'm not" and got back in line. I just love Kinders!
