Your Body's Mouth...

In the Midwest, all things are
         hot
                 Hot
                         HOT
throughout the summer, so when school starts
      you expect children are just used to sweating.

Apparently, for Missing the K Sound,
      sweat is a foreign occurrence.

This was made clear when he came
             RUNNING to me
     in a panic...

"Miss Crazy Young Preschool Teacher,
     my hair is wet!!!!"
           How did that happen?!?!

Well, silly me, I explained it in a way I
               THOUGHT
       he would understand.

"Well, Missing the K Sound, that's sweat.
        Your body is telling you that you are hot.
     Why don't you sit in the shade and cool down?"

What came next was too brilliant for words.

"Miss Crazy Young Preschool Teacher,
       my body can't tell me anything,

MY BODY DOESN'T HAVE A MOUTH."

I could end the story there and definitely get a great laugh,

but it gets better.

Because I, the smart one that I am,
    decided to try and talk him through this one.

"Missing the K Sound, what's this?"
             while pointing at my mouth.

"Your mouth."

"Yes, and that's on your body,
          so your body does have a mouth."

"No, Miss Crazy Young Preschool Teacher,
      your mouth is on your face,
                   NOT
              your body....silly!!!"

No words could escape my mouth
     because if I opened my mouth, the laughter
          would have escaped.
