Today was incredibly frustrated for a myriad of reasons that I am not in the mood to discuss. I am instead going to share a moment from day which made me smile.
Visualize a classroom crowded with 30 students, 1 teacher, and all the "stuff" those people need in order to function in a classroom. At the front of the classroom, a teacher is giving instructions on going to recess when suddenly a girl in a purple shirt turns around and begins talking to a boy behind her. The boy jumps up and raises his voice to the girl. At this point, the teacher steps in.
Teacher: Please sit down both of you.
Boy: She's bothering me.
Girl: Nuh uh, I'm not doing anything.
Teacher: We'll talk about it when we get outside.
The class lines up and heads to recess. At the door, the two students stop and wait for the teacher.
Teacher: (to boy) What was going on in there?
Boy: Well, see, I was singing a song. She jumped in my business. Well, not my business 'cause I don't have any business.
At this point the teacher has to turn her head so he won't see her laughing.
Boy: Anyway, she started talking to me. I told her to be quiet.
Girl: He was singing a funny song.
At this point, I reminded them they needed to listen to me when I was giving directions. I almost told them to mind their own business from now on, but I stopped myself.
That was my high point today!
