Conversation with Two Sixth Graders
I subbed in a 6th grade class during my prep period today. During class, one of the boys asked if he could pass out the second set of papers that I had. I already had planned for another girl to pass them out, so I told him no.
Boy (to Girl): Hey, let me pass some of them out. You owe me!
Girl: I don’t owe you! You owe me! Remember? I saved you from my sister.
Boy (with wide eyes): Oh, yeah…
Girl (to me): My sister had a thing for him.
Me: Oh, yeah? Your sister liked him?
Girl: My sister was IN LOVE with him.
Boy (with a worried, tortured look on his face): Yeah.
Girl: But he’s in sixth grade and she’s in first.
Boy (still with the tortured look on his face): It was really awkward…
I just started laughing.
