So you learn pretty quickly when you start teaching that you just don’t know what students will say about you at home. From the day I prayed for a missionary ministering to orphan children and heard the next day that I had decided to have some babies (single though I be) to the times when parents hear, “That’s not how MISS BLESSING says to add/subtract/multiply/divide,” it can all be pretty hilarious.

Well, with multi-age, students get to know you even more deeply. There’s no hiding. I pray every day that I will be consistently kind, have loving words, and reach out with a tender, compassionate heart.

So when I heard that one of my old students regaled his sisters with tales of the time I got really, really mad, I was trembling to hear what this was all about.  I feel like I’m pretty even-keeled, and I never yell (except when I’m reading out loud! ha ha!).

So here’s the picture he made of the day I got mad. With an ominous tone, he told them, “I was so naughty, and Miss Blessing LOOKED at me!”

My mother, with her famous stink-eye, would be proud. I’m still laughing!
