I have another kindergarten story. Karen, I know I said I would scrap it but it really needs the italics so it's easier to tell here...
Setting: I teach four and five-year-olds so I usually wear some sort of pants to school because I'm on the ground with them all the time and I don't want to accidentally flash anyone. Today, I had an important meeting so I wore a dress and knee-high boots. One of my four-year-old boys caught sight of a bit of my leg at circle time and here's what followed:
Robert (looking shocked at seeing my skin): "Ms. Cosgrove! Where are your pants ??"
Me: "I'm wearing a dress today, Robert."
Robert: "Yes, but what happened to your pants?"
Me: "I'm wearing a dress and boots today so I don't need to wear pants."
Robert: "So... your daddy didn't give you pants today? He only gave you a dress and boots???"
At that point, my assistant had to excuse herself into the hallway to keep from bursting out laughing in front of the kids. Best moment of my day.
