It's my BIRTHDAY! :)

For posterity's sake, I have to record this conversation that I had with some of my students today right before lunch:

My students are milling around the classroom, washing their hands, and lining up for lunch when one of my students (we'll call him L) hands me a piece of paper that says: "Bonjour Madame!" (He's the creative, artsy type.)

I say: But L, I'm not a Madame. I'm a mademoiselle.
L says: Well, you can keep it for after you get married.
I say: But L, what if I NEVER get married?
L says: I KNOW you'll get married Ms. B. I just KNOW it.

As we are having this conversation, another student pipes in (we'll call her T):

T says: But Ms. Berutti, you're too attractive to NOT get married.

I couldn't help but crack up laughing. The best part is that T is the type of student who would NEVER say a comment like that. It was too hilarious!

Sometimes I just love my kids.
