Last night, one of my first graders looked up at me with his huge warm eyes and said, “Miss Janice, I was tricked today.”
“Oh,” I said, “How were you tricked?”
“Some other boys were talking about balls and they were telling me to talk about balls, too. And so I told them that I like balls and they laughed.”
He hesitated. I thought he might cry.
“And then I found out they weren’t talking about soccer balls. They were talking about private balls.”
Hahaha! Aww…poor little guy!

It could have been worse – he didn’t talk about CInderella and the prince at the public ball.
Being a kid is so difficult! Strangers in a strange land….one that’s getting stranger all the time?

I guess I didn’t know that boys talked about private balls at that age…

I suspect the other boys were older. Poor boy. He’s so darling.

There really is no winning in such a game.

Nope. He seems to be pretty resilient, though.
