Teachers Have It Best

Every year I have at least one who cracks me up. My favorite, Daniel. Cutest little mush! The upper grades (3-5) had to take a state exam and I told the class, after we lined up in the hallway, that because some older kids are taking a test we need to be quiet and not make a sound so they can focus. We need to walk quietly and not talk. Daniel raises his hand and whispers "what if we have to cough?" I smiled anx laughed and told him coughing is ok. The best would be when we packed up to go home. Winter was quite... memorable. His mother clothed him in layers! This little meatball was already big, so imagine layers I had to help I'm put on. First a sweater, then a hoodie, then his coat, then his hat, then his gloves.... it was a mission!
A couple of years ago i had a little girl named Luna. Cute blonde but so hyper. During lunch i wanted her to eat instead of talking so much cuz her mother was concerned about her eating. So one day during lunch she's calling my name. I ignore her. She does it again... i ignore her. Finally she goes "ms.______ I know you can hear me!" And I smiled and asked what she wanted. Little cutie pies. I miss them. But I enjoyed every minute of it. Wouldn't trade my job for the world.
