Like A Mom

Sweet conversation in my classroom yesterday:

All the students in my morning class are on the reading rug around my big moon chair getting ready for read-aloud. I hear ...
Myha (whispering):  Go ahead, tell her!  Tell her.  Mrs. Taylor won't mind.
Me, to the two students:  Is everything ok?  Do you guys need something?
Myha:  (Nudging her best friend Ayan again) It's ok ... tell her!
Ayan remains quiet.
Myha:  Ayan is afraid to tell you that she is so hungry she feels like she might get sick.
Me: Oh no!  Go get a snack from under my desk.  There are Goldfish and crackers.  Take whatever kind you like.
Myah (whispering to Ayan as they are going to my desk to get the snack):  See!  I TOLD you she loves us like a mom.

BEST part of my day!
