Sweet 5 year-old kindergarten student: Mrs. B, do you only want to be a teacher?
Me: thinks, "No, I'd also really like to be a mother."
says, "I've always wanted to be a teacher."
Good job on avoiding the question. If only that will work at all the Christmas family get-togethers we'll be enduring. I can't believe I'm dreading Christmas. Am I really letting IF take all the joy out of my life?
If the funk I've been in is any clue to the answer to that question, then it's yes.
Students sure know how to hit where it hurts, whether they know it or not.
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone in the dreading family Christmases either. You've got plenty of company!
