third graders, you gotta love 'em!

After learning about the United States and their regions, one of the boys asked me, "Miss Williams, what state are you from?" "California," I replied and he looked disappointed, "Where did you think I was from?" He looked up and with wonder in his eyes said, "Oh, I don't know, some place like Virginia!" 

I was on my lunch duty and one of the girls in my class raised her hand. I walked over to her and asked her what she needed. Her face changed and I could tell she was confused about something. In exasperation she exclaimed, "Miss Williams, why aren't you married?!"

As I walked to the front row to calm down some of the students, one of them said to his classmate, "Oh no, here's the police."
