Kids can be so cute!

Just a quick little cutie that happened today...

Because I come from South Africa, obviously we have many black children in our class.  Some of the names can be very hard to pronounce for white people.

I have a little black girl in my class named Qaqamba (pronounced - Kwakwamba).  She was disturbing a little white boy named Kevin with her humming.  Kevin came to complain.  "Ma'am, please can you tell c...cwa...um...how do you say it...uh...cu...ca please can you tell Cucumber to stop humming."  It was hard to keep a straight face, but it was so darn cute.

That is great.  Kids do say the funniest things.  My three year old grandson remarked, "The very idea!" the other day, and I knew the expression came from me.

My daughter shocked me at age two when she put her hands on her hips and shook her finger at me.  I never did it again.
