Talking with a 7 year old can be rough...trying not to damage their burgeoning and fragile psyche is tricky...
As I found out today:
The first graders were working in a drawing program on the computers
Child: "How do you like my picture, Mrs. S?"
Me: "That is a beautiful cat"
Child: "It's not a cat"
Me: "Oh... yes...I see that now. I was just looking at the ears" (as I point to two pointy things on top of a mis-shapen oval head).
Child: "Those are not the ears...those are the eyes."
Me: "Yep...uh-huh, I can see that (NOT)! Once I looked at it a leeettle longer I could definitely tell those were eyes and not ears."
At this point I thought it was best to keep my mouth shut so I subtlely start to back away...and then:
Child: "I love frogs"
Me: " I can see that...you drew a beautiful frog."
Child: "Thank you."
YES!!!!! Conversation over.
