First graders are amusing. I work as a teaching assistant in a first grade class at my temple. Last Sunday, the kids were decorating bags in which to give toiletry items to women in a homeless shelter or something like that.
The girls in the class immediately began drawing pink and yellow flowers and hearts. But the boys were potentially an issue.
"Remember," said the teacher, "these bags are for mothers and children so decorate them appropriately."
"No Star Wars," said one girl.
"Right," said the teacher.
"And no sports?" said a boy.
"Right. No sports," said the teacher.
"Can we draw aliens?" asked one boy.
"No, no aliens," the teacher answered.
"Oh," said the boy. "I already drawed an alien." I looked over at his bag and there sure enough was a neon green, three-eyed alien drawn in the middle of it.
It was a very cute alien, so I'm sure the recipient will enjoy it.
