made my day

Every tuesday I go to an elementary school and volunteer at a Kindergarten class. I don't love it, but it isn't the worst thing I have ever done. I think if the teacher wasn't so scary I would like it more! Seriously, she is the scariest kindergarten teacher ever. But I have definitely learned that... 
A. I don't want to be a kindergarten teacher... I can't treat people like they are kids all the time. It's just not me.
B. My kids WILL be smart. We will practice writing and reading at home and they will not be the slow ones who can't focus. I refuse.
And C. I cannot wait to have adorable little kids. Seriously. I hope they have big adroable eyes and cute little clothes on their cute little bodies. Ohh its going to be great :)

Anyway, today the kids were writing/coloring in their journals, and since they aren't the best at writing it can be pretty hilarious. But today my most favorite kid EVER wrote the greatest thing in his journal!! and I quote...

"sno foLen on My heD and rachool heD"

in case you don't read kindergarten it says "snow is falling on my head and on Rachel's head."
and then above it he drew our green bodies with purple snow on them and a blue hat. It was the cutest picture thing ever and my heart melted a little. He says I am his friend and tells me all about his life. It is wonderful.

Seriously, this kid is the cutest.

I volunteered at a kindergarten as well and had a similar experience as you. There was this one kid who just couldn't focus in the class and was always causing trouble. Once they were all sitting together at town square and that kid pinched this other cute little boy really hard, and the cute little boy started to tear up and was trying his hardest to hold in his tears...I respect that. Then the teacher said something like, "is everything okay?" then the kid who pinched him said "he pinched me!" and I, a witness to the entire spectacle wanted to just stand up and say, "YOU LIE!!!" to defend that poor boy who was crying. Kindergarten can be so brutal sometimes. Now i can see why people grow up to be the way that they are...lol.
