In honor of my sweet Steve here is one of his favorite scenes from Maine. We enlarged this and he put it in his office at work.
Child: "Where are you from?"
ME: "I am from around 8 minutes from here."
Child: "But where are you from? Where did you grow up?"
ME: "I grew up around 8 minutes from here."
Child: "Oh, I thought you were from another country because of the way you talk."
ME: "You think I am from another country?"
Child: "Yes."
ME: "Where are you from?"
Child: "North America."
ME: "I'm from North America, too.... why do you think I am from another country, though?"
Child: "Because you talk so different."
ME: "I'm just SOUTHERN, dear."
ANOTHER Child says: "Yeah, she just has a southern ACCIDENT."
That has made me and one of my team teachers laugh A LOT today. :) Hope it makes you chuckle, too. Happy Friday!

Love the picture! No wonder Steve wanted that one for his office.
I had a good laugh over the comments from the student... LOL!
Happy birthday to Steve! Kids say the craziest things at school. That's one part of back to school I'm looking forward to.
PS - I think you should post pictures of your classroom.
Happy birthday to your man!
Such a funny story!!!
