So I found this on Pinterest about a month ago and I've been so pumped for 11/11/11 ever since.
I thought really hard about what my wish was going to be.
So, today, at 11:10am, I stopped my kids in the middle of their work, apologized and told them it's very important that we all make the biggest wish we can think of in one minute.
11:11 came.
I looked around and saw 30 little eyes squinched as tight as they could go. I saw fingers crossed and legs crossed. They were wishing so very hard.
I kept looking around and it was so cute that I forgot to make a wish.
SERIOUSLY?
This is a once in a lifetime chance!
I was a little bummed until someone reminded me around 8pm, that there was always 11:11 PM. Oh, duh.
So, I set my alarm for 11:10pm.
We made a wish.
Dan opened his eyes at 11:12 and said he was "doubting" his wish. Well, I'm sorry, you only get one chance and you lost it.
However, mine was an exceptional wish. And if it doesn't come true, I might just die.
I LOVED this post so so so much! I loved that you totally lost yourself to your cute little students! Now THAT proves you as an exceptional teacher! And I love it that you got a second chance for your own wish! I sure wish I knew your wish but then it wouldn't be valid so I won't even ask! I love you!
ReplyDeleteYou must be such a fun teacher! I bet all your little kiddos just love you. I, too, forgot to make a wish at 11:11 am.... I told Jason I was going to stay up until 11:11 pm, but he pointed out that that was really 23:11, so it didn't count :(
ReplyDeleteBut I hope your wish still comes true :)
