Our fourth grader celebrated his birthday on crutches, so he couldn’t carry the cupcakes into school without help. I asked our sixth-grader, Noah, to help his brother carry them in. “I could,” he said, “but I’d prefer not to.” Spotting a teaching moment, my husband asked Noah, “What would Jesus do?” Noah answered, “Jesus would heal him so he could carry his own cupcakes.” My dad is so cheap that when he dies, he’s going to walk toward the light and turn it off. —Comedian Matin Atrushi
Teaching is not for sensitive souls. While reviewing future, past, and present tenses with my English class, I posed this question: “I am beautiful’ is what tense?” One student raised her hand. “Past tense.” |
