Things My Students Say...

My life is pretty much dedicated to teaching these days, and since I don't have much of anything else to blog as of late, I've decided to start a new "mini-series" for this blog in the hopes that I will eventually turn this site into my music education blog with lesson ideas, etc. The most special part of my job is working with adorable, wonderful kiddos, and sometimes, they say the darndest things...seriously.

Today's gem was so monumentally funny that I decided I should post mini-blogs whenever students say noteworthy things. So, enjoy!

Things my students say...

When I greeted my 4th graders today, two adorable girls came running up to me, gave me gigantic hugs, pulled away dramatically and then got straight to the point.

"Are you dating anybody?!?"

Taken aback, I laughed and said, "No, no I'm not..." (Gee, thanks girls for twisting that knife even deeper!)

Their response?!? "WHAT?!?!?!?! How are you not?!? You're so pretty!!!"

Well...thanks girls for that bout of confidence. Know any eligible, attractive bachelors you can hook me up with?

Nothing quite like your 4th graders prying into your dating life...or lack thereof!

Another noteworthy exasperation came from weeks ago with another 4th grader (what's with 4th grade? haha). While working on an anthem project, one student exasperatedly declared, "Oh boy! I'm a hot mess!"

Seriously though...where do they learn these things?
