Apparently I'm lying about getting married?
Last Thursday and Friday I subbed for my kids at Lacure and it was--except for a couple classes--AMAZING. Kids will be kids though and there were some pretty hilarious things said.
The kindergartners had been asking Jenni when their "real" music teacher was coming back. She kept telling them she's their real teacher. Hah! So, in one K class, I don't think many of them understood who I was. Many said things like "you look like our old music teacher" and "I've never seen you before" Even after I told them that I was their teacher during the fall. ?????
In one first grade class:
Me: Did you know that I'm not Miss Morris anymore? I got married. Now my name's Mrs. Rodgers.
5 of them: LIAR!
They didn't believe me until I showed them my ring that I definitely had while I was teaching there.
In more than one class:
Them: What's your husband's name?
Me: Mr. Rodgers
Them: No! What's his first name?
Me: Ethan (Then, of course, any child named Ethan was made fun of.)
Them: Did you finish learning to be a teacher? Is that why you're back?
Me: No! That's what I was doing here. I left because I was done.
Them: *skeptical look*
Them: Did Mrs. Lang retire? Are you going to be our teacher?
Other them: No! She's like in her 30s.
In one second grade class:
Them as they're walking in: Where's Mrs. Lang? Hi! Why are you back? Did you leave for school? Did you get married? etc. etc.
Me: (I explained it all)
Them: What's your husband's name?
Me: Mr. Rodgers
Them: His first name!
Me: Ethan
15 kids then proceeded to make fun of the kid named Ethan.
Me: Is he old enough to get married?
Them: No.
Me: Is his name Ethan Rodgers?
Them: No.
Me: Then knock it off! When his parents named him, they had nooooooo idea that he would someday have a music student teacher who married a guy named Ethan and that his classmates would make fun of him. It's not his fault.
One of them: Why'd you get married?
Me: Why do you think?
Them: To have a baby!
Me: No, because I loooooooooooove him.
Them: NO!!!
One girl: I know why you want to get married. It's because you want to spend the rest of your life with him.
Me: That is exactly right!
Them: Are you going to have a baby?
Me: Not for like five years.
Them: *gasp*
One girl: I know how babies are made
Me: Aaand we're not going to talk about that in music class.
One boy: When I get married, I want to have a baby in like... 2 months!
Me: ..........
In other news, Saxophone Day was teh awesome and I need to play my horns more because I'm now terrible.
I subbed in Davison for an awesome class of 4th graders. They switched with another class for a half hour and I had to teach this other class social studies. I actually had to write a student up in there! I'm sorry, but you are not going to get away with trying to start an argument and mocking me. What the crap?
I talked to the music teacher in that school and she doesn't have somebody who subs for her, so I gave her all my info. Yay!
I'm supposed to sub Thursday and Friday mornings at Kearsley High for music. Double yay!
5 days until we leave for DC. Whoop whoop!!!
*fancy script* toodles!
