Why I love teaching first grade...
so today it rained and we had indoor recess. and the kids got really wound up and kinda crazy.
As happens on occasion, one of them accidentily called me "mommy". I mean, they are 6 after all, and they probabaly see me about as much as they see their moms. So we all giggled and they kept running with it and yelled out "mom!"
And then one of my little tomboy girls comes up to me with a perfect fake angelic face and sweetly asks, " Mommy? Where's our daddy?"
I wish I knew, sweetie. I wish I knew.
And then, when I mentioned that they get to meet my parents in may, they all started screaming "yay! grandma and grandpa are coming!"
These are also the children who like to "guess" how old I am and start at 6 and go up to 80.
I love my job. I just hate indoor recess.
see? I do exist still. This is now my life.
