ha ha

okay so here's some ha ha from this week.....there's this one little guy in my class that is super obnoxiously nosy. he has to know everything and i mean EVERYTHING that is going on with someone else. like, "ms. avery, why did so and so have his card turned?" and other such curiosity's about other people in the world around them that if i didn't have a classroom of other kids to deal with, i would offer the info. as such, my stock response is, "Jayce, it's not your business is it?"

well, the other day, i was working with him and some others at our writing center. he had his hand raised to ask a question, but i was helping someone else at the time. he put his hand down, and i figured that was because he noticed i was busy. after a moment, i turned to him to see what he needed. he shook his head and said simply, "it's not my business."

i had to swallow a giggle, but in hindsight, while it's still pretty funny, i do feel a tiny bit guilty. 6/7 year olds!

anyway, i have two weeks left and it's going to fly by and i'm really going to miss these kids. i'm not going to miss everything else, like all the hilarious kid drama that seems to perpetually mar each and every freaking day, BUT i will miss them. and i am learning a great deal about what it will be like to be a parent: drama will be a part of the number and i will just have to deal with it!!! laugh and take it in stride....maybe i should just count on it happening, that way, when it doesn't, it will be like a surprise vacation.....
