Best attempt to get out of cursive practice:
"You know what, Miss Djerf? You're not respecting who I am. You're just trying to change me!"
I had to explain that no, actually, I AM supposed to change some things about my students, their handwriting being one of those things. But nice try...
Best prayer request of the week (from a second grader who'd had a tough start to her day):
"Um, can we pray that we don't have to pay to fix the plumbing at my house? Because I accidentally flushed my toothbrush down the toilet this morning."
The best question (in the middle of a lesson on the day of Pentecost):
"Miss Djerf, why were there opossums in the upper room?"
Until today, I never realized how closely related the words "apostle" and "opossum" are. I'm glad he asked, though. It really puts the story in a different light to be imagining opossums praising God in different tongues with flames of fire on their heads.
