Why I love my job...

One of the best things about teaching, is how often these little people say or do something that puts me into stitches!! For example, the other day I sat down to read them one of my favorite books of all time, and that is how I introduced the book. I told them I've been reading it since I was a little girl and it's so sweet, etc. Many of you may know it...

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. Ok, so I was going on and on about how it is one of my favorites, and I was clenching it to me (like a hug) to show my affection for the story, and also so they couldn't see the cover. Well, so as I'm (overly) gushing about the story, I hear one of my sweet little girls sitting in front of me whisper (in complete adoration), "It's Jesus!"..........

Haha!! I forgot that this huge picture of Shel Silverstein's face is on the back of the book. I can say that I can SORT OF see how she can see the resemblance, but I have never thought Shel Silverstein was that striking of a man! :0) Haha...I was trying not to laugh when I heard that, but she probably thought I was about to read her a book that Jesus had written himself! Lol! Oh, the things these kids say. I thought it was too cute not to share.
