He said......He said......

So.....you just never know what is going to come out of a child's mouth! Today, as I was teaching, one of my little boys asks...."Mrs. Backus, did they have games when you were a kid"? I say, "Well, sure I did"! He says......"Well, Mrs. Williams said she didn't have games when she was a kid". I said - "well, I did". As I walk away, I hear another little boy ask the first little boy "Why do you think that just because Mrs. Williams didn't have games that Mrs. Backus wouldn't have games"? He says - "I don't know - I guess because they were kids at the same time"? The other little boy says - "eeewwwww - you're calling Mrs. Backus OLD"! (All of this is a whisper, mind you. Now - you just have to know Mrs. Williams to understand what a hoot this is. And - of course - I had to just keep walking straight out of the room so as not to bust out laughing at this conversation between two very bright, precious kids! And of course, I walked straight to Mrs. Williams room to share this story. She and I both had a much needed laugh! Moments like these are the very reason I get up at 5:30 every morning, wake my child up at 6:30 and drive her to Nashville at 6:45 so I can leave Mineral Springs at 7:00 to be in Ashdown by 7:30. Nothin' like it!
