YEP! I TOTALLY WENT THERE!
Here is a conversation I had with a child yesterday during writing ...
Child: "Miss Murray, I've got a huge, gigantic headache. I just don't think I can do writing today."
I give the kid credit. He really "sicked it up" for me, including a twisted look of pain on his face.
Me: "Oh man! That stinks. I guess you won't be able to participate in gym today then, huh."
Child: "No worries, Miss Murray. We don't have gym." He actually said that with a broad grin on his face!
Me: "Um ... yes we do."
This is where it got humorous for me, as I watched all color drain from his face.
Child: "Well ... but ... I just .... ummm .... "
After tripping all over himself a few more seconds, he trudged back to his seat and got busy with the task of writing.
To borrow an old, 80s TV phrase, I just love it when a plan comes together!
