My friend, Kristina, shared the sweetest story with me last night.
And I have to share it here.
Because it's still making me giggle.
Kristina is working in a 3rd grade classroom this year while she completes her Master's in Elementary Education.
She's told me before that one little boy, Jason, has developed the sweetest affection for her. He'll hug her goodbye at the end of a school day, stick by her side on the playground at recess, and sometimes draw pictures for her.
Yesterday Jason gave Kristina this drawing:
Now, lest you be confused, those orange things at the top are seagull feet (not to be confused with, say, human feet or anything of that nature). I have laughed about this for most of the day. The last picture Jason gave Kristina was of a black mamba--the world's deadliest snake. It's hearts and flowers from the girls...but the boys will stick to dragons, snakes and seagull-eating-sharks, thank you very much.
Kristina told me her third graders make her smile so much.
They make me smile, too.
