Happy Birthday To Me!

I know that you are all extremely faithful readers of my amazing blog....and being such you will know that in the past I have been "less than excited" to get older. (and by "less than excited" of course I mean "completely depressed and hateful of everyone and everything.") But not this year! I do realize that I am older today but I just don't care! Seriously. I couldn't be happier about being 29 today. So when I had this conversation I did not burst into tears and consider getting Botox....I just laughed. Out loud. And my class thought I was nuts.

Little Boy: "Tomorrow is your birthday?"
Me: "That's right."
Little Girl #1: "How old are you gonna be?"
Me: "29."
Little Girl #2: "That's old."
Little Boy: "Are you gonna die?"
Me: "Do you think I am going to die?"
90% of the class nodded
Me: "Why?"
Little Girl #1: "Cause you are SO OLD!"
Little Girl #2: "Who is gonna be our teacher when you die?"
Me: (through the laughter and trying to scrawl this on a sticky note) "I am NOT dying. So I will continue to be your teacher."
Little Girl #3: "Ok." (said in complete disbelief with a look on her face that clearly said I was delusional.)
Won't they be surprised to see me tomorrow morning....alive and SO OLD!!

Random Comments

Two random comments that made me laugh today:

Little Girl: "Miss Dawn, I saw a Jesus play."
Me: "Oh really?"
Little Girl: "Yeah it was about Jesus."

And a different child
Little Girl: "Are we having apple juice for snack?"
Me: "Yes."
Little Girl: "Oh good. My mom says I can only drink apple juice today."
Me: "Oh really?"
Little Girl: "That's because my poop is really hard."

Seriously...what an awesome day.
