These tattoos were inked Christmas of 2010. The book spines have my children's names on them. They are both on my lower back. |
"Mrs. Johnson?" one of my third graders asked as I was bending over to tape student work to our classroom door.
"Yes?" I inquired, turning to look at her.
"Thank you for teaching us math" she said with a hug.
Surprised, I squeezed her back and thanked for the compliment.
"Are you enjoying that I assignment?" I questioned, "Is it a little challenging, but fun?"
I was thrilled with her seeming enthusiasm for the math assignment.
"No," she replied, "I'm just reading your back.
"My back?" I replied puzzled, "Did someone stick a note on my back?" Third graders would think that a very funny joke to pull on the teacher.
"No," she answered and pointed to my lower back, "your back!"
