Curious Thursday
The kids in the class I'm in right now are always asking me questions like, "How old are you?", "Where do you live?", "Do you have any pets?",etc. Sometimes I answer them and sometimes I say that we need to work on school things and they can ask me about them later at recess, by which time they seem to forget the question they had asked. Well, Thursday during mini math groups the kids were throwing questions at me left and right. I told them that if they were quiet for the rest of the time they worked I'd let them ask me one APPROPRIATE question before they had to go back to their seats. I threw the word "appropriate" in just to be sure. But let's just say that in life you can never be SURE. So, my trick worked. The kids kept quiet the rest of the time so I held true to my promise and let them ask me one question. They all agreed that the question should be, "Are you married?". I told them that I wasn't. Then sweet little NINE YEAR OLD Jose goes, "No! I have one more question! Do you wear a bra?" I didn't know whether to laugh, ignore him or tell him that his question wasn't appropriate, so I just stared at him-shocked. Once he got back to his seat I told the other teacher and we laughed for like twenty minutes.

i think i laughed for like 20 minutes too!!
you should have responded with this...
"a bra? what is a bra for?"
Haha that is hysterical! I remember wondering about the personal lives of my teachers CONSTANTLY! I would try to pick up hints here and there. I need to clue your kids in. No ring, not married. Come on people! They totally wasted their question! I never wondered about their bra-wearing habits either-I guess that was another clue I could always pick up on without having to ask (ya know, along the lines of, "Do you brush your teeth", which for some teachers was a definite NO!
Haha that is hilarious!! Gotta love little kids!
That is why teaching is such a great job, every day is ALWAYS different! The kids I taught were always making me laugh, and they were the most shocked when they saw me eat lunch one day. They kept saying, "teacher, you eat lunch? You eat too?" oh, and they thought I lived at the school. Gotta love little kiddos!
I'm obsessed with you. Seriously. Seriously I am.
haha oh that is funny! Why would a little kid even be asking that!
