"Just a little. haha Why do you say that?"
"Because you didn't ask me how I was today"

My students may struggle with using context clues while reading complex passages, but they're so perceptive when it comes to reading the little things. I'm blown away by encounters like these. So attuned to human beings in ways that I miss too frequently. Children, you humble me.
