Kids say the darndest things

This week I got invited to come into Anchorage Montessori school to give a reading of my book, "If We Hopped on Our Bike..." I was excited and a bit nervous, keeping 20 kids under five years old interested in me for 30 minutes could be a challenge.

I came up with a few questions I could use to get the kids involved. Simple things like, "Who has a bike?" "Have any of you named your bike?" These were a big hit. One of my favorite moments was when I asked,"Has anyone traveled to a place other than Alaska?" One little girl practically popped off the floor as her hand shot up. I pointed to her and asked, "Where did you go?" With a nice, loud voice she said,"I am wearing pants under my dress!"

It was a lot of fun and I hope to have more school experiences. Being able to read my book to a class and talk about different places in the world was a treat. And maybe tomorrow, just for fun, I will wear pants under my dress.
