On Friday afternoon, as the students were all pouring out of their classrooms and heading to buses, I stood in the hallway, attempting to wrangle my class into a line. As the older students walked past, one of them stopped and gave me a hug. This student, a special-needs kiddo, was in my class last year, and I hadn't really seen him yet during this school year.
He hugged me and then said, in a shining example of a double-edged compliment: "Mrs. Goertzen! You've...you've been taking a diet! You're belly isn't as fat as it was last year!"
Um...thanks? :)
