As a recent college grad subbing in the inner city, I was prepared to ward off advances by high school boys, but was a bit taken aback when a first grader approached me at recess and asked "Do you have my phone number?"
Attempting to avoid being given his number, I responed "I could probably look it up in the phone book if I ever need it."
"Well, you should keep it with you all the time in case, you know... you need anything. Anything at all," he said suggestively.
My curiosity engaged, I asked "And what would you do if I needed something?"
"Well," he looked around to make sure no one was listening, leaned in, and smugly informed me: "I'm a ninja."
I wrote this a while back and was going to send it in to Reader's Digest, but I forgot and just came across it again so instead, it's on my blog!
oh, you need to submit this. to some educator's magazine, to the Banner, to Reader's Digest. It's ninja-good! love mom
