I was cracking up this morning. I was having a conversation with some of my students and one boy, who is tardy every single day, comes in and wants to know what we were talking about. "You must get here on time if you want to be part of the fun in this class!" I tell him. So, as a class, we start discussing the importance of being on time and how it can affect their future jobs. "Ms. Torres, if I fail in life when I am older, could I come and live with you and your future husband?" my chronic tardy student asks. I just start laughing out loud!!!! "I am not sure that would be the best sweetie!" I say. "Well, I am a great babysitter. I could take care of your kids!" he says. Another student answers him for me "If Ms. Torres can't trust you to be on time and to bring your homework, what makes you think that she will trust you with her kids. It wouldn't make sense." This comment started so many more comments and we couldn't stop laughing for a good 15 minutes. It was so much fun!
