One of the many reasons why I love my job

I love my job. I never know what my students will say. Here is my latest, favorite, conversation.

Student: "I'm thirsty"
Me: "Hello thirsty, My name is Mrs. Dozier." (I know, but 5 year olds still find it entertaining.)
Student: "My name isn't thirsty, it's _______ and I would like a drink."

I thought it was hilarious! I have never had a kid know how to respond to that.

General Conference

I love conference weekend. I love being able to hear the talks that are given and the testimonies that are born. I heard a talk yesterday (Joseph B. Wirthlin I believe) about being able to laugh when things go wrong. I have to admit I have always had a hard time with finding the joy in every situation, especially when things go wrong. So this was a good reminder for me. I also felt like there was a common thread in the Sunday morning session. We need to be more accepting of everyone around us. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a global church and we all have the Gospel in common. What I got from it was that we really need to focus on what we have in common instead of what is different about each of us. It was a great weekend and we finished it with soup at my parents with my brother and sister and our families. I love how my Dad takes the opportunity to bear his testimony when he has us all together. It has always been such a source of comfort to me. I am so grateful for the family I have! :)
