A student's confession

I just had a little K guy in here. Cute as a freaking button, only met him once this year. He tells me his belly hurts. Okay, no temp, ate breakfast, pooped last night. I gave him some water and let him rest. After a bit I said "Okay little man, ready to head back to class?" He gives me this pathetically sad, guilty look and says "Well. I have to tell you. I had a plan."

I said "Okay, what kind of plan?" and he responds. "My plan was to tell you I have a belly ache so you would call my mom and she would come here and I could see her. Because I really miss her!" and he bursts into tears.

I didn't know whether to cry because he was so cute and sad or laugh because he revealed his whole diabolical plan to me. It was priceless.

    I would have cried with him. I had a little second grader that tried that this morning, we called mom and as soon as the kid found out that a friend was coming home after school...poof no more belly ache!

    That was adorable. My school would let the parent come and sit in class.We have younger siblings in classes all the time. Love this place.

    We wrote mom an e-mail. The kids love that.

    I feel bad for him. He gets dropped off at the before care program at like 6:30 AM and doesn't get picked up from the after care program until 5:30 or so. He's a real cutie.

    I felt my ovaries tingling when I saw how much he loved his mama. It also made me wanna cry because mine is all the way in Georgia! That's right. This tomato crab has a peach for a mom.

    I'm with ABC123...I would've cried with him. I'm such a sucker, especially for the little ones.

    I'll cry with middle schoolers, too. I cried twice with the same 7th grade girl last year. First when her parents were divorcing and second when her dog died!

    I always use the Steel Magnolias quote, "No one cries alone in my presence."

    Awwwww!! "I had a plan..."

    I have never worked with younger set. That scenario has a whole different meaning when a high school senior does that.

    I am a huge crier, too! I cried yesterday when one of my little autistic girls told me her beautiful dog "is going to die and I won't see her!" I damn near lost it. Kids and dogs, they get me every time.

    Once, I saw a billboard and it made me cry so much I had to pull over and compose myself.

    Ever notice the kid and dog videos ALWAYS win America's Funniest Videos?
