Words of Wisdom

I am standing in my classroom surrounded by....well, children who have been cooped up and are just a little crazy. 

I am standing, staring out the window.  I am thinking how amazing it looks outside.  The sky is a gorgeous shade of blue....the sun is boldly out and the light reflecting off of unused play equipment is mesmerizing....the trees are swaying in unison. 

A little boy slides in beside me....cuz this is what little boys who have been cooped up do...they can no longer walk anywhere, they must slide.....

3GB:  Mrs. Hays, it looks real pretty outside.
Me:  Yep.  It does.

Moment of silence....just a moment....cuz little boys who slide everywhere only have a moment of silence.....

3GB:  Just by looking, you would think it was a beautiful day outside.  Instead its a cold and nasty day. 
Me:  Yep. 
3GB:  That's why you don't judge things by how they look on the outside, right, Mrs. Hays?

Wise words.  Just sayin'.
