Today my class was studying about measurement in calendar time. What is a decade? What is a century? What is a leap year? Hmm, this is where we seem to have gotten a little stuck. So, today when discussing a leap year, we discussed how a person who is born on February 29th, still ages like everyone else. That the difference is that they may not celebrate their birthday as often as everyone else on the actual date they were born. And so, this struck a question from Celine, "Don't you think it hurts that person's feeling when everyone says they are only 3, and they really aren't?"
"Well, I think with time, the person would probably get used to everyone making comments like that."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I am short (only 5ft tall, some of my students are the same height as me). Growing up and even now, people tend to tell me, I'm short. Now, I have heard it so often, that when people tell me I'm short, I always say wow, you just figured that out."
Gwen goes, "I know today I saw you standing next to Cosmas' dad and I was like wow, Ms. J. is short!"
Cronius, you have to love Cronius, because he replies, "Ms. J. isn't short, she just hasn't hit her growth spirt yet."
