out of the mouths of...

as a counselor, i talk to many children. some are serious. some are deep thinkers. some are insightful. & you just never know what they will say.

one student i talk to sort of frequently is one of these deep thinking, kinda somber type kiddos. she's a little "dark."  i was trying to cheer her up a bit & instead SHE ended up making ME laugh.

i was talking about words and how they can be like poison -- they can hurt the people they "spray" on. On and on went my analogy.

Finally after agreeing with me & acting like she understood what i was trying to say our conversation went something like this...

student:  ok, i get it...but how do you know about poison words?

me: what do you mean?

student: well you live in the "world of rainbows and ponies"

me: whaat? hahahahaa

student: hahahahaha

us:hahahahahahahahaa :D
