To Tears...

Just had to share a story with you that made me laugh so hard it brought me to tears...

I have befriended all of the twenty-something-year-old girls in Theatre class, many of whom I have had many classes with and we all want to be teachers. One girl in particular, Elizabeth, and I, have really hit it off and sit together. So... we are sitting in class and have just observed a group present their staged reading of a Children's play. The group started asking the class some discussion questions and this particular question involved heroes and heroines. They kept expanding on their question, repeating heroes and heroines, heroes and heroines...

Elizabeth looks over at me and ever so seriously asks: "Was there heroine in this play?"

I looked at her... and started cracking up (quietly...trying not to be disruptive...it wasn't easy!) I had to put my hands over my face with my shoulders bobbing up and down. She didn't even realize what she had said until another girl replied, "You know, heroes who are boys and heroines who are girls?!?" It finally clicked and then she cracked up! We both had tears streaming down our faces!

It is a story and memory that makes me smile and laugh all over again...definitely a highlight of Summer School!
