Peaches & Cream

Teaching can be hilarious. I always have a story to tell from the mouths of my students - unfortunately, not always printable. But still pretty funny.

This week I had an interaction with a 2nd grader - not one of my classroom students, but one of my private piano students. He had come to my classroom and was waiting for it to be time for his after-school lesson with me. He was talking non-stop about my 3 rabbits - Sam, Lilly, and Daisy - who live in my classroom. I had noticed that day that Daisy was pulling out chunks of her hair (evidence of a pregnancy) and had put a nesting box into the cage. Garett, my student, asked me what the box was for. I explained, and he asked something along the lines of, "How did THAT happen?" I was smirking to myself at how I'd walked into a conversation I didn't know quite how to have with this kid, when he interjected the following question: "Did they get married or something?"

We spent a few more minutes trying to clear things up, but he was really surprised to learn that in the bunny world, no one gets married.

Beat that!
