A Brown Teddy and an Apricot Teacher...
Two of my second grade boys were working on a timeline of Theodore Roosevelt's life:
Second Grade Boy1: "Teddy is white"
Second Grade Boy2: "What? I used brown!"
Second Grade Boy1" "Yeah, he is white. See, here is his picture."
Second Grade Boy2: "Miss Laura, Miss Laura! Teddy is white, and I drew his Mom brown! I didn't know. What do I do. Do I use this white crayon?!"
Me: "What color am I?"
Second Grade Boy2: "White"
Me: "Do I match that crayon?"
Second Grade Boy1: "No. Ummm...You are peach! You match this one...well kinda. Oh! Maybe you are apricot! Do we color Teddy with the apricot crayon?"
For the next couple of minutes the two boys keep trying to match my skin color and their skin colors to the crayons
Second Grade Boy1: "Teddy is white"

English phrases can be confusing...
Third Grade Girl: "Can I have some more crackers?"
Me: "No, you already had snack"
Third Grade Girl: "But I can't hold it!"
Me: "What?"
Third Grade Girl: "You know, I can't hold it. I really need it. I can't hold it. I need some crackers"
Me: "You need to go to the bathroom?"
Third Grade Girl: "No, I am hungry. I can't hold it!"
Apparently she thought, "I can't hold it!" is to be used whenever you really want something, not just when you really have to use the bathroom.

What is the perfect age?
"I want to be age 17 so I can help my dad. I want to help my dad so he won't have to come home in the nighttime and he will be home sooner."
