Too Early and Too Cold!

When teaching Bible, I like to ask my students if they know certain words or stories. Their responses are sometimes dead on, and other times…not so much! We have been studying the miracles of Jesus. I had previously taught about Jesus’ first miracle, turning the water to wine at the Wedding. A few days after that, I asked the kids, “What is a miracle?” One girl responded “When you get married!” I had to laugh because of people I know in my life that would totally agree!!

Yesterday I taught about the Lepers that Jesus healed. I started out asking if any of them knew what leprosy was. One little girl raised her hand proudly and said… “a tornado!” It is so funny to see what things they put with what.

This morning…by the way…it is 22 degrees here in sunny Florida, I was buzzing around quickly due to the cold and trying to get things done. At 7:30 I have to go to the cafeteria to pick up any of my early arrivals. That involves going out in the cold twice. This morning I went in and was hurrying my 3 early birds along trying to make them move at my pace ( I thought they would want to get out of the cold also…they were in la la land). AS soon as we get outside for the trek to our room, one of my, shall I say, “no care in the world, I have no idea what is going on”, little girls said:

Olivia: “Mrs. Thompson!”
Me: “yes” (mind you we are trying to walk in the freezing cold at a quick pace…and walking and telling a story at the same time is quite difficult for these little ones)
Olivia: “I am carrying broccoli (her stuffed dog) because of safety reasons.
Me: “WHAT!?”
Olivia: “I had to put him in the seatbelt…you know seatbelt safety!”

Wow…. Too early for that one!

One more thing before I close.

Naya came in with some really tall fuzzy boots. They looked super warm. I simply told her…”Naya I love your boots!”

Ashlynn spoke up and said “those are sexy boots!”

OH my!
