Student conversations are the best! EES

Two third graders were sitting with me in art today, having the following conversation:

Student A: Did you know that you have this thing in your brain called an umbilical cord?

Student B [rolling eyes, like it was obvious]: Yes, I know.

Me: Huh?  Um, that's the thing that connects mamas and babies before they are born. It was where your belly button is now.

Student A [irritated]: No.  Not that umbilical cord Mrs. Elliott. The other one. The one in your brain.  You know, it's the one that connects your brain to your imagination.

Oh. My. Goodness. Sometimes I think my heart will burst with my love for children.

 Thanks for sharing them with me!
