Kids say the Damndest Things...

I have been teaching at a Public School every week.  The other week, I taught some 6th graders.   First of all, I'd like to add that I usually pick out the fattest kid to be my favorite...and they always are.  I was talking to them about the weather, and my pudgy little friend said he doesn't like the hot weather because he's so fat.  Bless his chubby little heart.

At the end of class while they were filling out some forms, I asked them if they had any questions for me.   One boy asked how old I was.  I told him 34 and my chunky buddy said I looked like I was 20.  If only they made adult sized versions of these little dumplings.

The next question was "how heavy are you?"  Not "how much do you weigh, but like, "damn girl, you heavy...how heavy are you??"  Ok, little bit of exaggeration, but that's how it felt.  I decided not to answer and he then asked my height...much more appropriate.  I am 175 centimeters.  Metric System.

Then I was asked if I was married, to which I said no.  After class a little girl came up to me and started saying something about a "left woman".  I wasn't sure what she was talking about, so I had her speak to another teacher.  Comes to find out, if you are over 30 and not married in China, you are a "left woman".  So, there you go.

And here's the class.

Love Always,

A heavy left woman.
