check up

i had an endocrinologist apt. this afternoon and had to leave school as i dismissed the kids. i explained this to them so they understood why i was getting my bag together while they got theirs. they asked if i was sick and i told them it was just a check up. this is the ensuing conversation i had with a 35 year old man stuck in 6 year old body.

boy: have you had your yearly breast cancer check?
me: no not yet. (this may or may not be the truth, i was just trying to stifle a giggle and figured honesty was not of the utmost importance).
boy: you should. i just went with my mom and its important.
me: that's good advice.

was there anything else to say?

this type of exchange is the best part of teaching kindergarten. they tell you exactly what they're thinking.
