Being an Early Childhood teacher definitely has its benefits....and here's one that I thought I would share with you....

Last week, I went to visit one of my old friends from Early Childhood that I had case managed for two years. I had received a call that he was having a couple tough days, so I thought I would drop in on him.

Once arriving into the classroom where the kindergartners were busy with their math buckets, one little guy (whom I didn't know) looks at me and says,
"Whoa, you're pretty!"
My reply, "Thank you," and then precede to talk to my former student.
Little guy again, "Are you his grandmother?"
My reply...while laughing, "No, I was his preschool teacher."
Little guy seems satisfied with this answer. About two minutes later, he looks at me again and says, "My mom taught me to say pretty instead of hot."

Oh, the joys of being a teacher... This made me smile that day and again tonight after a "rollercoaster" kind of day. Hope it made you smile too!! ((hugs to all of you))
