Student Letter

Yesterday our school office manager just had to come read those of us on lunch break in the staff room a letter.  Apparently a certain child is often in trouble.  Our office manager looked at him and asked him if he would be making this a habit, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know."  She looked at him and said, "It's picture day.  You look so nice.  Make it a good day!" Then she suggested that he write a note to the principal explaining what had happened.  So, he wrote a letter, and this is how it started.

"Dear Mr. Stewart, Today is picture day. I look nice.  But somehow I am still the same."

Ah, yes.  Somehow we are still the same.

I really love this. I just keep thinking about it and am reminded that kids really do speak the truth - sometimes without even realizing it.
