Out of the Mouths of Babes

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?   :)
