Student (going through puberty freshman boy, football player, usually out in lah-lah land):
Mrs. Miller...I talked with one of my friends about you today...
Mrs. Miller (YIKES! Who is his friend & what in heck were they talking about me for): Really? What were you talking about? (I'm pretty daring huh?)
Student: He said you are the smiliest teacher he knows...you're always smiling.
Mrs. Miller (thinking "really? I don't smile when you don't do your work & you're clearly trying to get out of it"): Really? I'm always smiling huh?
Student (nodding in agreement): Yep, my friend says you can even smile while writing a detention...a genuine smile too!
By then I WAS smiling...that could be the comment/compliment of the week!

I would like to be a fly on the wall of your classroom! I would most definitely learn a thing or two while there as well:)
