One of my students came up to me as we were lining up to leave the lunchroom today and said, "Sue has a crush." I went up to Sue and explained how she was too young for boys. Her response was "I just can't sigh loudly enough."
Later in the day the subject did not get dropped. I continued explaining how boys were gross and she did not need to like them until she was at least 12 years old. (I figure that we should let the middle school teachers take care of it, right?) Then she told me in a soft voice, "I just can't wait to get on the bus and smell his vanilla fragrance."
And to think that last week boys were evil. When did this change happen?

I am going to have to incorporate "I just can't sigh loudly enough." into my life in some way! Love it. :)
Sue is too cute. It's scary how fast those feelings can change, huh?
His vanilla fragrance??? Is he gay?? I thought elementary boys were stinky!
P.S. LOVE "I just can't sigh loudly enough!"
Boys are gross?? Melissa, I'm surprised at you! Encouraging her to wait to like boys is one thing -- telling her they are gross is another!
Does it count that I told her that they are gross until she gets older? Ok, maybe that was a little far, but she's an extreme kid! She only understands extreme measures!
I'm much more okay what that phrasing. :)
Hilarious, Melissa. I love Sue. Don't you love how quickly they change. It happens here too, surprisingly. Miss you!
