So today the students celebrated Valentine's Day with flowers, cards, and chocolates that they could purchase to be delivered to their friends. I left this exchange for the end of class (knowing I would never get them to focus again). After everything was passed out, one of my 6th grade boys asked if he could give me his gift. He came to the front of the room, got down on one knee, thrust the gift bag in the air, and said, "Miss, will you marry me?" I said, "No. But thank you for the gift :) I don't date younger men!"
My story doesn't stop there...in the morning, one of my 6th grade students showed up to my class with a bag. I thought he was leaving it in my class for later, but he told me it was for me...sweet, right! During my first break I decided to open it...a red fuzzy heart pillow...a pair of underwear...a gold tube top!!! So needless to say I was freaking out because this is completely inappropriate on so many levels. Then I noticed a business card on the floor...it had the student's mom's name on it. My best guess is that his mom put together this gift for me from the store she owns/works at. I'm sure he didn't know what was in it because if he did, that would have been the talk of 6th grade! So I guess that means his mom got me underwear and a tube top for Valentine's Day :) Still inappropriate but better (I guess).
It was quite the eventful Valentine's Day for me...going to be tough to beat that!
