Things They Don't Prepare Teachers For

When I teach kindergarteners and first graders, I get used to the funny (and sometimes naughty) things they do. But today was a new one: I had turned my back a minute to grab something when a little kindergarten boy came up to me and said a certain girl had just kissed him! I think I must have looked a little stupefied for a moment, because this hasn't happened on my beat before. I called her over and asked if she'd kissed him. At first she said no, but then 'fessed up that she had, just a little, though I'm not sure where. Should I send her back to her teacher, give her a time out, or...? I decided to give a stern conjunction to not kiss boys and to keep to herself! She nodded with understanding, so I hope that settles it! Word, where do these kids pick up these boy/girl things at such a young age?? Sadly, I remember flirting and "liking" boys clear back in second grade, if not before. I guess it's just part of our natural makeup or something.
