Today I taught my second graders about making connections. We read a little poem about the moon, and I said, "This reminds me of something, but it's a secret. Can you keep a secret? It's kind of embarrassing." Of course, it wasn't anything important. But about 5 minutes later (when we were talking about something else) a very serious little boy raised his hand.

"Can I tell my mama?"

"What do you mean?"

"Can I tell my mama? She's real good at keeping secrets."

Adorable.
