So today in my classroom we were talking about how everyone is different, different heights, sizes, color, hair...etc... One of the more outspoken boys turns around and says: "Mrs. D did you see that Yulyel has hair on the top of his lip just like my daddy?" Now Yulyel is my only Hispanic boy in the classroom and the oldest but so young in mind and heart that this comment did not bother him... So I responded.. what do you mean? And Max continued to say... well he has hair on his lip like my daddy does a couple of days after he shaves.. why don't I? I had no response but Yulyel did.. he simply said, Max don't you know anything? It's because I am older than you and I eat all my food at lunch... So there you have it ladies and gentleman.. Eat all your food at lunch and you also will have hair on your upper lip!
I love being a Kindergarten Teacher... the conversations I hear!
