Oh, man. I love my job. It's moments like this that make it all worth while...
Today it was rather chilly and rainy. My last group of the day came in and did their assignments quietly. I was working on some "important business" (aka an IEP) at my desk while they worked on elapsed time. Keep in mind, it's cold and rainy and my heat wasn't working today. All 3 boys have their coats on. As they are getting ready to leave, I notice that one of the boys has his coat on upside down, and he doesn't seemed bothered at all!! So, I say to him, "Sweetie, your jacket is on upside down. Let's fix it." He replies with, "No Ms. Cormack (he never gets my name right). It's PERFECT!!" I say, "Okay, whatever. Let's go to your room." I walk with him back to his room and show his teacher, who informs me that he has had his jacket on like this all day. :)
How in world could that be comfortable? Who knows what his thinking was, but it was a perfect fit. So, no matter how backwards you think something is, it's perfect for the person.
