Charlotte: I'm the smartest kid in my class.
Me: How do you know?
Charlotte: I'm the only one that spells my name and knows the blessings.
Me: The blessings? You pray at school?
Charlotte (rolling her eyes): No, plussing. You know, like 6+6=12.
Me: Oh, that is smart, Charlotte.
Charlotte: I know, I have to teach all the kids plus the teachers. Miss Lisa and Miss Shuli are the hardest to work with.
Me: You have to teach the teachers?
Charlotte: Yes, because I am smarter than them. They don't know anything. I have so much to teach them.
Me: Wow. That must be hard work.
Charlotte: Yes.
Later at dinner...
Charlotte: I don't really teach the class. I was just joking...you know, like make believe.
Yes, but she had one thing right: teaching teachers is hard! We know everything. Charlotte just might be on her way to being a teacher!!!
