Diary of a Wom'n

So goes a conversation with one of my grade 7 girls this week...

"Ms. G, are you married?"

"No." (in a wistful tone)

"You're not? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No." (in a "absolutely not" tone)

"No?  Do you have a crush on someone?  Are you crushing on a guy?"

"No." (in a "that's a silly notion" tone)

"Are you thinking of getting married sometime?"

"No." (in a pensive tone)

Lol.  I imagine the conversation would have been much more livelier if I did have a bf but I had to tell the truth and I also had to steer the conversation to how much I love being me and focusing on what I love; teaching.  And that marriage isn't as important as fulfilling your dream (unless of course marriage is the dream for some).

Youthful innocence is so charming sometimes.
