Cute!

As the Grasshoppers poured in from music class today, stopping off momentarily in the bathroom to wash theirs hands before lunch, Sasha had a perplexed look on her face. “Carla,” she said, “when we were walking down the hall, someone said, ‘Cute!’ ” Realizing she might have been confused by being described in this way, I explained, “Oh…it’s because you’re Grasshoppers. They must think Grasshoppers are cute. What do you think? Do you think Grasshoppers are cute?” She thought for a split second before responding. “Yeah… REAL cute!” Her classmates on all sides smiled at me and nodded their heads in agreement. Yep, they’re real cute, alright!
