Compliment or Insult?
So I have been sicker than a dog lately (thanks to the baby bean), and I figure it's a blessing I've even gone to school to teach--forget the fact that I look like crap. Today I actually felt good enough to straighten my hair and put some decent clothes on. One little girl in my class was quick to note the change. She said: "Mrs. Crandall, you look really cute today." I of course, said thank you. Then I said, "It's probably because I finally felt good enough to get ready today." Then she said, "Man you must not have felt good for a long time." To which the class all hastily agreed and then concluded, "but you still look nice today." Oh 14 year olds. What a blessing.

LOL! That's hilarious!!! I'm sure she meant well, that's too funny! Hope you get to feeling better quickly! It's no fun to be sick!
I'm so sorry you are sick! I was like that until about 5 months. I teach in the portables, so i just had to tell my class, "If I run out of the classroom randomly- you know why!" I had to book it into the bathrooms to puke way too many times. It does go away eventually though. Hang in there!
Don't you love students? I had a kindergartener a couple of years ago tell me that my hair looked funny one day because I did it different than I normally did! After that though, a sweet little boy said, "I think it looks pretty!" So cute! Never a dull moment teaching I say!
I'm VERY sorry your sick. I hope it doesn't last forever. I've puked for 9 months so I totally understand not wanting to get dressed or do hair. Ponytails are my favorite thing!
But I don't agree with your class - you ALWAYS look cute. I've known you forever and I have never seen you not look cute!
That is so funny! Every time I see Chad he always says "hi fatty". Man kids are cute aren't they?...
Oh Nikki - I almost laughed out loud in class!! That is so amazing and sounds exactly like something I would have said when I was that age. I always meant well but it just came out so wrong!! I'm sure you always look adorable!
K. That is way cute! I hope you get feeling better!
