Kids... sheesh

So I walk into an elementary school the other day to shoot some photos of the first day of the school year. Walk into a first grade classroom. This little boy is coloring right in front of me. He looks up, screams, falls out of his chair and stares at me in what I suspect was mock horror. Then he says, "Wow. You're huge." Thanks kid. I didn't know that. His teacher, first hearing his scream looks over in dismay and then after his cheeky comment gets a look of disapproval on her face, but says nothing. So I lean over and quietly say, "Do you want to be this big someday?" The kid shakes his head in the negative. "Well then, be sure and eat lots of crayons. I never ate any as a kid and this is what happened." He was half way through a 24-count Crayola box when I left.
