sometimes...

you have to take two 6th grade girlies to see gnomeo and juliet

because...

a. they worked so hard organizing your classroom library.

b. the crazy kids eat up all your attention and you need to see middle schoolers in a new light.

c. you get to hear about how they want to be a pediatrician and veterinarian (for exotic animals, mind you) when they grow up.

d. they are hilarious without even knowing it.

e. all of the above.

i'm gonna go with e.

thanks girlies for encouraging this little teacher's heart.
