I try not to make too many posts about school, but this is a cute one.
I have 3rd and 4th grade lunch count duty every day. All the 3rd and 4th grade students who are ordering a tray or milk if they pack, have to come up to me and I need to mark it all on a sheet.
Last Friday a little boy in 3rd grade came up to order his lunch. He had on a polo style shirt and a clip on neck tie that reached down to the middle of his tummy.
Very guietly, I leaned toward him and said, "Michael, you look so handsome today. Are you trying to impress a girl with your tie?"
He shook his head yes.
"May I ask who the lucky girl is?"
He looked around to see if anyone was within earshot, then leaned in close and with a huge smile on his face said, "Molly."
"Wow, I bet she'll notice how nice you look today."
On Monday, I saw him in the line again.
"Did the tie work?"
He shook his head, and said, "No."
This morning he had on a plain t-shirt with the clip on tie again.
"Same girl Michael?" I asked him quietly.
He grinned and said, "Yep!"
I sure hope she noticed him today...it's hard to handle rejection in third grade!

Thanks Cindi
I live about 45 miles west of Corpus Christi.
The storm is going to the Houston area which is about 4 hours from here. We are expecting lots of rain on Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday.
Also, wearing a tie in third grade? Too cute!
Oh, how cute! I love cute school stories, so go for it.
Hi Cindi,
