About Me
- Library Mama
- I am a mom, a wife, and a teacher-librarian. I have four boys at home: Main Man (44), #1 (14), #2 (11), and #3 (7). Although they keep me very busy, I also look after a library for an elementary student population of 500 (give or take). I love my family; I love my job.

A Tale for the Teachers
Tonight we played a family game of Urban Myth. A story is read, and everyone indicates on a card whether they think the story is true or a myth.
I won.
#1 and #2 declared the game unfair. Their reasoning?
"But Mom, you're a teacher. You're trained to be smarter than the rest of us!"

Hah!
#M probably declared the game to be unfair too!
#M: "This game is prejudice!"
Out of the mouths of babes..... ;-)
Ha,ha,ha..
Karen - I know! ;-)
Hippo - No, he was a pretty good sport. Besides, he would never admit that I was smarter than he was - trained or not!
Pissy - I know - Pretty wise, eh?
Happy - Yup, I enjoyed it too. :-)
That is something we teachers could stand to hear every day!
Booklogged - I know. I'm so pleased they still think that way, because I've encountered students who do not feel that way. I'm sure you have too.
lol..that's funny. my boys would say similar things....and then sometimes I get the old pat on the head when I loose
and they are quite pleased with themselves.
Schaumi - Hah - you're right! My boys quite like it when they win too.
:-)
Hi LM,
Since they lost, your kids have a very good point!
(I thought you were taking a break. Glad you're back.)
love as always
Good to have you back too, Susan.
Hilarious comment.
No, we're not trained, we're just born that way. ;)
Hah, Anne-Marie! I wish I'd thought to say that! :-)
