"My Baby"

Today a few of my students had to stay after school to make up a test. As usual, only half brought their calculators :) I had already given away my spare and then another student asked to borrow a calculator. The only calculator I had left was my graphing calculator aka "my baby". So I said to the student, "I do have MY calculator that you can use but you need to be SO careful because it's my baby!" He totally played into it and held out both hands to receive it then very slowly and carefully set it down. After he completed the test, he returned it saying, "Here is your baby." And to the calculator, "Now go to sleep (as he put the cover on)." It was so funny...highlight of my day :) How I love my kids...
