Conversations Today

1. We had a field trip today at the courthouse and capital building. If you know downtown Salt Lake very well, you know that you have to drive right pass temple square to get there. This what a little boy and I talked about:
Brayden: "Miss H, do you know what that building is? It kind of looks like a castle right?"
Me: "Yeah, that's the temple. It kind of does, huh?"
Brayden: "Do you know what people do there?"
Me: "Kind of." (So as a teacher, I'm not really supposed to talk much about religion. I'm still trying to figure out where the line is so when kids talk to me about stuff, I kind of struggle cause I never know where they're taking the conversation...)
Brayden: "You know, if you want to learn more about that building and the people who go there, you can watch our church's conference this weekend. It's kind of boring, but I can give you a game to play. Or, you can come to my house and watch with us. My mom likes you so she won't mind!"

2. At the courthouse, one of the court Marshall's talked about their job. He was talking about how sometimes his job can be kind of boring like when they have to sit in their car for a few hours to stake out a person. One girl (from my class of course) raised her hand and said, "So is it true that whenever you are just sittin' in your car you eat a lot of doughnuts?" Good thing the guy had a sense of humor!

3. An argument that went something like this:
Ashley: "Miss H! Jen said I was like Snookie and now she calls me Snookie! I think I'm more like Sammy because Snookie is skanky!"
Me: "Wha?!"
Daniel: "Snookie peed in a pot outside a club. She's stupid."
Ashley: "See!"
Me: "Wha?!"
Daniel: "If you're Sammy, I call I'm Pauly D."
Oscar: "And I'm Vinny!"
Tasiah: "I'm JWoww! Who are you Miss H?"
Me: "Wha?!" (and secretly thinking that Oscar really does look like Vinny)
Daniel: "Miss H doesn't even know what we're talking about."
Uh, yeah. West Valley. I guess I'm just thankful no one wanted to be The Situation.

4. Best one of the day: text from my brother. "I GOT MY CALL!!!!!! 6:30 tomorrow night!!!!!!" I can't wait!
