Student Sayings

This evening I was teaching one of my children's classes and we were covering the topic of appearance. The question in the textbook the students had to answer was, "What is one thing that you can do to help your appearance?" One girl (13 years old) wrote, "I can smile." The next question was, "Why is this thing important?" Her answer, "So I can get a husband."

My reaction ... speechless! I mean really??? She's thirteen! (Which is really 11 according to how we work out ages.) Way to young to be worrying about that!!!!!
