So today at the end of the day, we were sitting on the carpet reading poems for our poetry unit when the boys started giggling. Now the boys never giggle so I knew something was up. So I asked Colton if he had something he would like to share with the whole class. This is the conversation that followed...
Colton: Ms. Jones, what are you supposed to say when a girl asks if you will be her Valentine?
Me: Well, yes I guess if you want to be her valentine.
Colton: But what does it mean to be someone's Valentine?
Karsten pipes in: You take her to the mall and buy her something nice!
He was very proud of himself for knowing the answer. All I could do was laugh. Then Gavin came up and said, "Ms. Jones, Roses are red, violets are blue, cookies are sweet, and so are you!"
This is such a fun time of year to be around little kids because their idea of love is so innocent and pure and it brings me to their level and reminds me what a romantic I am! After all, all I want is a boy to take me to the mall and buy me something nice! ;)
