At work on Friday, four girls and I gathered at a round table for snack. We were all happily enjoy our chips and salsa when a woman who use to help in the classroom gave us a phone call. She wanted to announce that she had gotten married and is now expecting. When the girls at my table heard this news they were astounded.
" Ahhhhh! Sarah is married now, did you know that," one of them exclaimed.
With a serious, yet halfway dreamy face, another replied, " Yeah, and she even got to kiss her handsome prince." This statement was followed by giggles all around the table.
" Ewww!" One curly haired girl exclaimed, " I don't want to EVER kiss a boy, so I'm not going to get married."
I exchanged an amused look with the teacher at the table closest to mine, but didn't say anything.
All of the other girls quickly agreed with her as she continued, " I will kiss a handsome cupcake, but never a boy."
Despite my efforts, my laughter rolled out in cheerful bursts.
All of the schoolgirls looked at me quizzically. Then a smile slowly crept onto the curly haired girls face. " What I said was funny wasn't it ?" she inquired and the whole table erupted in another round of giggles.
Oh, and I forgot about preforming an act of kindness, however, I analyzed my actions and decided that the closest thing would be that I stayed late at one of my college classes when a classmate asked for an extra review on their essay. I don't know how helpful it was but it counts as kind, right?
P.S. For the sake of confidentiality, I changed "Sarah's" name.
