I just had to share this story today. I teach three 2nd grade girls in an after-school guitar program. Today, one of them asked me if I was married. "Well, actually, no" I said, and left it at that. Then she turns around and goes up to her friend who is at the chalkboard, and says, "Do you know what the word "gay" means? Her friend doesn't say anything..she's too engrossed in drawing on the chalkboard, but she continues on..."well, gay is like on Hannah Montana when Mylie Cyrus has a roommate....that's being gay. And sometimes boys just wanna have a roommate too and don't have to get married, and that's okay. It's okay to be gay."
I couldn't help but smile. These life discussions between kids comes up on occasion when I'm teaching, and I love to just listen to what's inside a child's mind.
