Thought and speech

The great thing about teaching is that you can tell your students things you've always wished you could tell your husband. For example, Karen, my wife, teaches third grade. The other day, one of her students raised his hand to inform the class of something not immediately relevent. Karen looked at him enthusiastically and replied: "And do you know what? Sometimes a thought can come to your mind and you don't have to say it!"

That had them thinking.
