"Well, I Guess You're Cooler Than I Thought!"

Aren't those the words that we just love to hear from children! The student who said this is famous for talking without thinking, for instance "It feels like you've had to much to drink at a wine party". So, when this came out of his mouth yesterday I was not the least bit surprised but what did surprise me is what made me cool ...


G- "Miss E do you know how to roller skate?" (completely off topic ... as always)
Me - "Yes I do, I even own a pair of roller blades."
G- "You do? Can we see them sometime."
N- "Well, I guess you're cooler than I thought."
Me- "Thank you. Now lets get back to work."

What makes you nice

This week was my schools' book fair and while standing around watching families shop the mother of a 4 year old cam up to me and said
Mom- "You're Miss E right?"
Miss E- "Yes, I am."
Mom- "My daughter thinks your are the nicest teacher in the school!"
Miss E- "Really?! Well, my class does love doing art with them on Fridays."
Mom- "Well, she came home and said "Mom, she is tall and has yellow hair ... plus it curly!" So in her mind that made you nice."
Both of us laugh

... I guess being tall with blonde curly hair is the key to niceness
