apparently i had a bad day

today at school i was helping a little boy write his name. every time that he's asked to write something, he says, "but i can't do it!" and bless his little heart, he really can't. so i told him that i would help him.

i showed him how to hold his pencil and then put my hand over his to write his name. it wasn't perfect, but at least it was readable. the little boy was not happy. he told me, "you're messing it up." before i could answer him, the girl on his left looked at him and said:

"it's okay. she's having a bad day."

i love that these children can totally read my emotions better than i can. really.
