  2. I love it when my students at school make me laugh. This week a second grade boy said to me “I know you’re not a grandma, but you look like one.” Two days later a different second grade girl told me “I like your teeth.” I just love to laugh!?

    Everytime that I now think of pumpkins, I think of this blog!
