comfort from Eliana

Characters: Eliana- 7 year old first grade girl and Miss Hardin- 23 year old substitute teacher

Eliana: "What's your name again?"
Me: "Miss Hardin."
Eliana: "Are you married?"
Me: [giggling] "No, I'm not married."
Eliana: "So you spell it M-I-S-S not M-R-S, right?"
Me: "Right. Miss Hardin."
[a couple seconds pass]
Eliana: "Don't worry- it's not bad you're not married. I'm not married either."

    hi laura! i saw your blog on your facebook, i hope you are doing well! =)

    i thought this post was really cute and funny. a 5 year old said to me this weekend, "do you have kids?" i said, "no, i don't, but i teach kids in school." she said, "well are you married?" i said, 'No." she said with this confused look on her face, "you're not married yet?!?!" haha. no, hayley, not yet. it made me laugh!

    hope you enjoyed working for TOMS, i bet that was awesome! =)

    blessings! -kt
