Weird question

Category: Uncategorized

After nearly a decade of working with children I have been asked some pretty weird questions.  Ranging from queries about jell-o to if I had consummated my marriage (from a  student who had no clue what consummate means).

But the other day I had probably the weirdest question I have ever had. At least in my opinion. While I was in the middle of a lesson with two five year olds one of them looked at my face very intently, scrunched up her face and with a bit of an edge asked “Why are you wearing eye shadow?”.  Not expecting this question, for a number of reasons and a flurry of my own zooming through my head I simply looked back at her and calmly said “Because I wear it everyday.”  This reply seemed to satisfy her curiosity and  we moved on with the lesson.  But I still have questions of my own.

    Thanks. I can’t take credit for it though. Just an image search from google.

    My weirdest question from my teaching days was “Do chicken’s have sternums?”. (must have missed the chicken anatomy classes in nursing school!)
