So a couple months back, when I told my students that I was pregnant, the first questions were about the gender. Will it be a boy or a girl? Of course, boys have germs and girls have cooties, therefore, all of my female students insisted it was going to be a girl and all of my male students were positive it would be a boy.
We were studying probability and to make it fun, we made pink and blue spinners. Half blue, half pink. Can you imagine that every girl in the class spun pink twice as often as blue and every boy in the class spun blue twice as often as pink? Well, that was their story and they were sticking to it.
Every day, one of my students, Tabitha from Tennesee, asked in her cute little Southern accent, "IS IT A GIRL???" My answer was the same everyday. "When I know, you'll know." I had a substitute on Monday, and the students knew this was the day I would be finding out the gender. I arrived before the students got there Tuesday and found a little letter on my desk from Tabitha. The letter read "Dear Mrs. Vala, I hope you have a gril. If you get a boy he ain't gonna go shopping with you. You will always be shopping by yourself. Your best friend, Tabby."
Kids.

probably the funniest thing I have ever heard!
That is hilarious....my stories of certain students don't compare!
hehe, I thought it was pretty funny. I need to start documenting more of the funny things that our students say here on Valapants. I am sure I could create many episodes of "really?"
That is the best! How creative of little "Tabby". Good story!
That is really cute - and creative. I love how kids minds work!
If that is the case, then I am screwed!!
