Thanks for nothing.

I had just gotten back from taking "my" fourth graders out for recess when Josh sat down next to me.

"Miss Krzys, you look like you've been running," he told me.

I was touched. The other teachers all know that I've been exercising regularly and have lost some weight, but it was great to have one of the kids notice. I wondered what differences he had observed. Did my legs look more muscular? Did I appear thinner?

"Why do you say that?" I asked, already smiling at the forthcoming compliment.

"Because your face is all red and your hair is sticking out all over," he answered.

Even at a young age...men suck.
