Fancy WHAT?!?



Ok, time for a funny post.  Teaching in first grade is quickly showing me that 6-year-old's are in their prime of being funny while not trying to be.  It is stories like this that get me through the tough days...

I have a young man in class who is exactly that... a little man.  He is very sensitive and particular and is just hilarious.  His mother was telling me a story about a vocabulary word he just can't quite grasp.  The word is "hangers"...  as in clothes hangers.  He calls them "hookers," and is especially fond of the padded ones that don't cause your sleeves to have bumps.  He has been told over and over that they are called "hangers" not "hookers" but he just can't seem to remember.  One day, instead of asking about going to the store to buy some new padded clothes hangers, he asked his mom if they could go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to pick up some "fancy hookers."  Good thing you're six kid...
