Kids Say The Darnedest Things

     Today I was subbing a grade 8 class and a student asked me if I am married.

Student: Miss, you married?

Me:  No.

Student: Miss why not?

Me:   I don't know.

Student: Miss you very beautiful! Why not married!?

Awww, thanks.

Marriage here is a big deal. If you are over 25 and not married something is wrong with you. Some of my students in grade 11 and 12 are even engaged! So I guess the fact that I am 33 not married and no kids shocks them.
