through His eyes.

Funny moments with my students:

(Was in the multi-purpose room dropping the students off during parent pick up time. A young father walks in and stands next to me. We greet each other and he continues to look for his child. Child is not there, so he smiles at me again, says bye, and walks off. This is very typical. But not to this student:)
Student: Ms. C!
Me: Yes?
Student: Was that your WIFE?
Me: ...wait, WHAT? NO.
Student: (sincerely looks confused) oh.......... I thought he was your wife....

(During play time:)
Student A: My daddy is THIS TALL.
Student B: Well, my daddy is THIS TALL.
Student A: Well, well, my daddy's name is (____). What about YOURS?
Student B: .... well, well, My daddy DOESN'T HAVE A NAME.
Me: ..... (bursts out laughing).

(A student watches me braiding my hair; a parent is standing by:)
Student: Are you gonna make your hair like Elsa's?
Me: Haha, I guess so.
Student: Wow Ms. C, you're gonna look like Elsa!
Me: Yay?
Student: But I think your eyes are too small to look like Elsa.
Me: ... First of all, ANYONE'S eyes are too small to look like Elsa...
Parent: (awkward chuckle) Yeah... yeah... no one can look like Elsa...
(Don't worry, I'm sure the child wasn't being racist, ma'am...)

Co-worker (to her son): Stop playing. We need to go home.
Son: No.
Me: Alrighty then, you can just come home with me!
Son: NO. I don't want to sleep and live in the school!
Me and co-worker: HAHA, Ms. C does NOT live in the school, silly!
