Confessions Create Tears of Joy

One of my students confessed that he rides in a "car seat" in his dad's car because he "can't see."

I tried not to for at least 15 seconds, but eventually, I began silently laughing...a lot. I couldn't help it. A 12 year old boy was telling me he rode in a car seat so he could see while riding in the car.

When I asked him to clarify, he reassured me it wasn't "the one with the high back on it, but the one that's more just like a seat." A booster seat. Still, so awesome.

I continued to laugh as he explained things further & I my eyes were welling up with tears. Another student looked at me & shouted, "You made Ms. S cry!!!"

FN replied, "So?! Those are TEARS OF JOY!"

Yes, yes they were.
