I swear I don't smell like icing
We made "gingerbread" houses in kindergarten this year. The kids were going nuts, but they did a pretty good job on them. Just a few conversations exchanged:
student: (after I had explicitly stated and the children had clarified several times that we could not eat any of the icing or graham crackers) Can we eat it?
me: No. You may not eat it.
student: Can we smell it?
me: Definitely.
student: (after sniffing the icing up close) It smells like [Miss G]!
student: Are we going to make a gingerbread house man?
me: Well, we're not going to make a gingerbread man, but I do have little gummi bears you can put outside the house and pretend that's the gingerbread man.
student: I want to make them kissing.

We made graham cracker "gingerbread" houses yesterday. Did you take any pictures? Maybe I'll e-mail you some of mine. I have a funny student story to share with you, too... but it's not from gingerbread house making. It was from a rainy day last week. I will talk to you on the phone soon, though. Love you! Merry Christmas!
