..."Mrs. Ledbetter? God is always watching us, right?"
"Yes, Quinn, He is."
"Then why do those things happen?"
"What things, Quinn?"
"You know, the bad things? Why does he let those happen? Like when people get hurt?"
SERIOUSLY? It's only Tuesday.
But this is reason 526 for why I love my job.

So Donna tells me a story tonight about one of her students. When the student was three, her mother had another child. The mom was breastfeeding the baby. So the three-year old comes into preschool and tells her teacher, "Mrs...., my mom is feeding my brother with her nickels!"
Oh yeah, you just gotta love teaching!
Just to rock the kid's world, you could've fired off, "Those bad things happen because that person did something bad and God is getting back at them."
I mean, they're going to do that to you on a Tuesday, you've got to let them know who's in charge!
:)
wow. that's a deep little four year old, and thankfully you're her teacher. and i love mom's story about the nickels :)
