Yesterday, my kindergarten class and I were reviewing the Readers' Choice program books for our state, as we'd finished reading all of them and it was time to vote. I asked a little boy who was particularly excited when I picked up I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean to hold it for the class and tell us about it.
I tried handing him the books, but he put his hand out to give me something. I could see that he didn't have anything in his hand, but I put my hand out. He put his teeny little fingers in my palm and in his cute little voice, "Here's a flower for you." And then, before I could even say thank you, he added, "It's your favorite color." Tee hee. Totally imaginary--there was no flower there. But I loved it anyway. I took it out of my palm and very gently set it on the bookshelf next to me.
When I told one of my friends the story, she said, "What?!?! You didn't put it in a glass of water?!?!" Even funnier.
