7th grade boys, for the most part have not hit their growth spurts yet. A few of my kids are barely 4 feet tall. And yet I've found that a lot of my smallest boys have the biggest personalities. One such kid and his friend were this way. We'll call them Bert and Ernie. Bert and Ernie sat right next to each other, which usually wasn't a problem. They got their work done, but after they finished, they sometimes got a little chatty. One day, while I was walking around checking on the progress of my kids on that day's assignment, I got to Bert and Ernie. That's when Ernie decided to brag to me about his friend's latest success with girls.
"Hey Ms. T, Bert got an 18 year old girl's phone number yesterday!"
Considering the fact that even 7th grade girls were all at least a foot taller than him, I was surprised by this.
"Is this true?" I asked Bert.
"Yeah," replied Bert with a smug look on his face.
Oh no, I thought. He' not getting away with this one.
"For what? To babysit you?" I asked.
That wiped the smile from his face.
Point, Ms. T, I thought, as I walked away.
