Be mine??!??

Valentine's is always an interesting time of the year in 2nd grade. It seems in the past week, I have heard several of "so and so said so and so is in love with so and so." I quickly shut these conversations down with a nice "We don't talk like that in 2nd grade. Miss Davis' doesn't even have a boyfriend so neither should y'all. You are much too young and we are all just wonderful friends here.:)"

As Valentine's gets closer, I also have the above conversation with the whole class so that we can try to avoid the issue all together. Unfortunately, it can often open up a whole can of worms for yours truly. Last year there was an interesting conversation that had great potential to get a terrible rumor started. That crazy story must be told in person though.

Just on a side note. When children are 7, they daydream. When they daydream, they get bits and pieces of conversation. When they get bits and pieces of conversation, the retelling of the conversations to their parents can get completely twisted. Moral of the story, watch what you say around little ears.

So as we close in on Valentine's I am interested to see what kinds of conversations come about on the subject. Hopefully they will not be too curious about Ms. Davis' love life and be too concerned about all of the goodies they will be collecting:).

Anyways I just wanted to introduce you all to my Valentine for the year.

Oh yes, That's right...be jealous. They are too precious!
