so today in third grade, i was telling them that camille saint saens composed "carnival of the animals" knowing that kids would probably love it more than the adults would...and i of course added that was probably because kids were so much cooler than adults.
one student got a horrified look on her face and said "but miss andrews...what about you? you are an adult. are you saying you're not cool enough?" i of course told her that i am just a kid trapped in an adult's body. and all was well again.
my favorite reaction came from the lovely little miss j. after i told the class that i considered myself to still be a kid, she said "well that's because you stay a kid until you get married. then it's just all adulthood from there."
i definitely didn't keep a straight face on that one :)
