OK. Since I've been so HEAVY on this blog lately, I decided to lighten things up. Here is a great story my DH brought home from school recently.
He was observing a kindergarten teacher as she was teaching a science lesson. It was something about gravity and force, and he said she was doing a great job. The kids were totally "into it." I must mention that this wonderful teacher is also rather overweight. You'll see why I had to mention that fact in a moment.
The teacher held up a stick with a rope and ball attached to the end. She asked the kids to observe what happened to the ball when she swung the stick. She started spinning the stick, and of course, the little ball went flying into orbit. The kids were riveted, and so when the teacher asked, "Boys and girls- what do you observe?" a little girl piped right up, "Ms. S! When you do that, the fat under your arm goes back and forth real fast!"
My husband said he almost died laughing (as quietly as he could.) The teacher, being the pro that she is, laughed too, and told the little girl that she had made a very accurate observation.
Kids are so funny!
Hope you have a great April Fool's Day. We're having a birthday bash at my house tonight for my Dad- a true April Fool (in the best sense.) I wonder if being born on this day was what made him so fun to be with and so good-humored? I'm attempting to make a clown cake that Sister saw in a fancy cookbook and just HAD to have for Pop's birthday. If it's decent, I'll post a picture tomorrow.
I'm off to bake!

Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by my humble little blog. No, really. I mean it. I love to read your comments. However, I'm a big slacker when it comes to personally responding to comments. I can't lie about that. So, if I don't respond, please don't think I didn't appreciate the time and effort it took for you to post your comment. I truly do. And most likely, I'll check out your profile, and your blog, and your Flickr account, etc. And I'll probably even add you to my list of favorites because I'm a favorite-a-holic and, heck, what's one more when you already have a couple hundred! So, thanks again for stopping by, and ya'll come back now, y'hear?

Yay, we're both having happy April Fool's Days. :)
That story is one of those moments you couldn't have scripted to be funnier - a sitcom moment if there ever was one! :) That's hilarious. Kids have a way of keeping one humble - especially kindergarteners!
My friend's daughter was snuggled up to her the other night and said, "Mommy, I love you... and it doesn't MATTER about 'the prettiest.'" Which sent my friend into a paroxysm of laughter. You lose any shred or pretence of dignity after three, I think. :)
