oh! follow up to Tuesday

so it was the end of the day and I'm getting the kids ready to transition from the cafeteria to the gym and a 5th grader says something to me. I forget what it was...

I said like "alright, I can't go until we're all showing that we know how to be in line."

and he was like, "just take us to the gym, Andy!"

and in a quiet voice I said, "hey, you're sassing me a lot right now. why are you bringing so much sass?"

and he goes, "I'M GETTING READY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL"

and I cackled and said "that's a good answer" and took them all to the gym.
