So I don't really share a lot of funny stories from work on here, mostly because I have usually forgotten them by the time night comes around. But here is one that I can't help but share with everyone because it was one of those moments that you go "Oh yeah, THIS is why I love my job" It was a needed moment and I am very thankful for it. So here it goes...
A couple of days ago when I walked into my classroom in the morning a little 5 year old boy comes running over to me and starts yelling
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE (at this point I was wondering what in the world he wanted) PLEASE, PLEASE PPPLLLEEEAAASSSSEEE!!!! Can I marry you when I get older?!
(HAHA! this is where I stopped myself from laughing because he was dead serious, I couldn't even use the excuse that he was too young because he DID clarify that he would wait till he got older...)
But I figured I had really better straighten him out because I don't think McKay would be very happy if I had said yes ;)
So I kindly held out my left hand for a visual and sweetly told him that I was actually already married.
He looked at my ring for a second and then said "Darn it!" Then he proceeds to gives me a big hug and says "But I STILL Love you!"
Melt my heart! Needless to say he was one of my favorites for the day :) (but pretend I didn't say that because as a teacher I do not get to have favorites...oh well we are all human)

How cute! As a teacher is okay to have favorites. We all do secretly even when we pretend we don't. We just have to be fair!
ReplyDeleteso cute!! and yes you can have secrets you just can't tell them that ;)
ReplyDeletexoxo, jamie
Awe, there's nothing sweeter than that! What a cute little boy.
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas tree! Its huge. I remember the first tree Chad and I had in our little apartment....it was half that size. But we still loved it just the same.
That is so cute. What a cutie! And I think it is perfectly fine to have favorites, as long as the favorite child status rotates.
