during lunchtime the kids were quietly eating their lunch and i was returning a phone call. the person i called told me i was assigned to give a speech. my class could tell i wasn't thrilled about this and when i got off the phone they asked what was wrong. i told them i had to give a speech and that i'm not good at giving speeches. sierra said,"yeah, but you're a really good talker."

huh?

on dominick's birthday i continued our tradition of giving a great big hug to the birthday boy. while i was hugging him, dominick exclaimed, "ugh!! i'm being sabitized by miss a!"

neither dominick nor i know what it means either.

old

i turned 29 over christmas break and my class knew that i was not very excited about it. as i was saying goodbye to them and wishing them a merry christmas i told them that the next time they saw me i'd be old. they laughed and said things like "you're not old, my dad's old." but sweet alexsis, trying to comfort me by using her kindest, gentlest voice, said "don't worry, miss a, you're not old til you're 30."

wait

"my mom said i can't have a girlfriend until i'm married!"
