Extra Nugget #4
Translating kid-speak into normal English is a valuable talent.
One of my students approached me before class this afternoon: "Miss B, can I ask you a question?"
How joyous! I must have motivated this dear student to ponder the mystery of integers outside of class. Surely his mind was consumed all day with such thoughts. Of course he has a question for me, he's finally thinking about math independently and loving every minute of it. I silently celebrated this small victory, making a mental note to do my Happy Dance when no one was looking, and prepared to answer the math question that had been plaguing his thoughts all day. "Yes, of course! What can I help you with?"
He gave me the biggest smile he could possible fit across his little face and pointed to his cheeks. "Miss B, do I have nipples on my face?"
Yup. I love my job.
