Did I Mention I Was a Teacher?

"To make your children capable of honesty is the 

beginning of education." -John Ruskin

An actual conversation I had today...

Student: (bouncing up to me) Mrs. T you're awesome!

Me: Well, thank you! You're pretty awesome yourself!

Student: When school first started I wasn't sure if you would be cool or not.

Me: Why is that?

Student: Well, you were young so I thought that was cool, but you told us you liked to quilt in your free time and I thought that made you sound like my grandma.

Me: Your grandma likes to quilt?

Student: Yeah. She does it all the time.

Me: (Smiling) Sounds like my kind of fun!

Student: (with confused look) How old are you again?

Me: 25

Student: (shaking head) I don't get it?

Me: Get what?

Student: How you can be so cool and act so old at the same time. You need to get out more.

I burst out laughing on the spot! I love my job! Kids are so stinkin' honest and funny!
