Riley is the naughtiest student in my second-grade class, but he is also easily my favorite. His English is pretty good, so he’s not afraid to talk, which always end up with him saying the funniest things.

Today during class, the classroom was burning up.

“Why is it so hot in here?” talking to myself as I go looking for the air conditioner remote.

When I come back, Riley pipes up, “Because Teacher Tina is so hot, so all the classroom is so hot.”

Riley’s eight years old. He has no idea what he just said. But I mentally gave him a huge hug.
