The best part of my day....

A girl in my 3rd grade class, Daniela, persistently asks me the same question everyday.
"Miss! How old are you!"
She insists I tell her everyday. She once guessed my age to be 20, then a boy shouted 15. After that, everyone decided to play the guessing game. One boy shouted 50 and the students looked at him like he was crazy. "No! She doesn't have wrinkles!" Another said. So they all started examining my face with a puzzled look and decided I had no wrinkles. Few! Daniela still continued begging me for my age and after no success moved on.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
I laughed and told her no.
"But Miss you are so beautiful...why don't you have a boyfriend?"
Ha ha! If only it were that true and easy.
"Miss, how many kids do you have?"
"Miss are you married?"
The questions never ended. Not long after, my students were suddenly standing on their desks screaming and pointing out the window. "Miss Miss! Look!" There was a HUGE iguana on a tree branch right outside the window. It was at least 5 feet long (not exaggerating). By far the biggest lizard I had ever seen. My kids were so excited and the girls could not stop screaming "Que feo!" We spent the last 15 min of math class watching the iguana eat and climb the tree. Later, I found out that iguanas are a delecasy here and that they taste like chicken....Yummy!
