Typical Male..

We're having troubles with boy/girlfriends in my classroom. Yes, they are first and second graders, but they are from the 'hood... and definitely more mature than most 8 year olds. Therefore, I've tackled this situation like I tackle most life situations: with a sense of humor and loads of sarcasm.

 

As a result, my new line to my boys is, "The only girl you need in your life is me!"

 

One of my little guys responded by saying, "Ms. L, I don't love you but I like having you around." Typical male. Can't profess his love for a woman.

 

I spent all afternoon rolling my eyes at the irony of my situation.
