Life in an elementary school

working at the elementary school every day i hear some pretty funny things. this was a conversation i had with a 4th grade boy, who isnt "fat" but a little on the bigger side when standing next to other 4th grade boys.

4th grade boy: Have you ever ran the mile?
Me: Ya i had to do it when i was in elementary school.
4th grade boy: Cool, we ran it today!
Me: Awesome! How did you do?
4th grade boy: *Huge Smile on his face* Well last year when i was in 3rd grade, i ran it in 12 minutes and 11 seconds. This year i ran it in 12 minutes and 35 seconds! My PE teacher told me i SMASHED my record.
Me: AWESOME! *High Five*

HA i tried so hard to keep my laugh back and i didnt want to crush the poor kids heart and tell him he actually ran it slower this year so i just said awesome. you could tell he was so proud.

i cant believe its october next month, time goes by so SO fast. the leaves are starting to change colors, and the mornings are starting to feel like fall mornings do. Halloween is just around the corner and then the holidays can start!

Anyway, I'm excited to see what you guys do for Halloween costumes this year!
