Real Gangster

Well, I survived another week. And I'm so delightfully happy that it's Friday! 

I've been having some real girl drama, as I've mentioned, and so today I sat down with four of my girls and we talked about how to be nice to your friends, and how to be inclusive and forgiving. Afterward, Anna (who is the most "popular" girl in our class) went up to Abbie (who is new and kind of odd) and asked if Abbie wanted to be her friend. This was totally gracious and awesome of Anna to do, especially since Abbie doesn't really have any friends in our class. But Abbie just said, "No, I have enough friends in my neighborhood. I don't really need any new friends." Oh, Abbie... you kind of blew it.

On a totally different note...

I feel like you can tell a huge difference between the kids who have older siblings and those who don't. Just by the things they say, like calling someone a "douche-head." (I like that one enough to maybe use it myself.) Today, for example, our word of the day was ball. So I was asking kids to use ball in a sentence, just like we always do with our word of the day. And Keon said, "Well, there's the inappropriate kind of ball..." Thanks, Keon. Also, during Friday free choice time, I heard Gavin say, "That would be real gangster." But this was made way more hilarious by the fact that he has a speech impediment and actually said, "That would be weal gangstew."
