Nope, I Didn't Cry

During the first week of school, the first grade teachers eat lunch in the lunchroom with the kids so they know what to and so they don't get up on the tables and jump from one to another and stuff like that. (Yes, that did happen one year.) Anyway, this year, I was eating at one table with a group of kids from my class. Having to stay in the lunchroom the entire lunch time (because some of the children take that long to eat their lunch), I was leisurely eating. As kids finished eating they went outside. After a while it was just me and Maddie at the table.

As Maddie was finishing the last of her chocolate milk, she looked at me and said, "I'm almost done. Are you going to be okay here by yourself?"

Me: "Yeah. I will be."

Maddie: "Have you ever done it before?"

Me: "Yeah . . ."

Maddie, in a softer voice: "Did you cry?"

Me: "Um, nope, I didn't cry!"

Thanks for being so concerned about me Maddie!
