Friday night, Rand and I ran into one of my 8th graders outside of school. She tapped me on the back, and I turned around. That was a surprise! She’s normally quite talkative and outgoing, but she got all quiet and shy. I introduced her to Rand, she stood there looking awkward for a few minutes, and I said goodbye.

This morning, she asked who the “big scary man” was. Heehee. One of the other girls asked how tall he was, and she said “Like seven feet!” I assured her that he was not, in fact, seven feet tall, and that he’s not at all scary.

I don’t think she believed me, though. 😉
