quote of the week

This week I was teaching my 4th grade ESL students the difference between 'need' and 'want' and how we earn money to buy things that we want. I told my class I wanted a new car. I then asked my students how I could get a new car, hoping that someone would provide me with the answer "save money and buy it" but was instead told by 9-year-old Rebecca,

"have your boyfriend buy it for you."

i restrained myself from teaching them the word "golddigger."
