Today's conversation cracked me up:
Me: We are going to be reading Freckle Juice for our next read aloud. I read this book when I seven, just like you!
Student: In first grade?
Me: No, I was in second grade. I have a summer birthday so I was always the youngest in my class.
Other Student: Is that why you're not married?
Me: Um, no. Pretty sure that doesn't have anything to do with it!
Student: Then why aren't you married?
Me: I haven't found anyone I want to marry yet.
Girl Student: Yeah, cuz girls get to CHOOSE who they marry (apparently boys don't?)
The fact that I am single and still old enough to be a teacher seems to fascinate my students. Seriously, at least once a week someone comments on my marital status. However, going from Freckle Juice to Marriage in the same conversation is impressive, even in my class!

I love Freckle Juice!!! Such a huge leap to go from Freckle Juice to your marital status... and yet I bet it made sense to more than one of them... :) Silly 1st graders.
hehehe that's too funny. Gotta love kids. :)
Hahaha. :) I love that.
i'd marry someone if they knew what freckle juice was. i still have that book at work...it's been there since before my mission. maybe i should take it home now.
Bwahahaha! Awesome.
