I have a 2nd grader who comes in a few mornings a week to read for me. I love the quiet time and he’s getting one on one attention he needs.
he comes in late this morning and apologizes as there won’t be enough time, but then he opens his backpack and tells me he has a gift for me.
I’m thinking cookies?
no. He says he knows I love comics, because I have quite a few (waves to Mimi) and pulls out one of his Amazing Spiderman Comics. It’s the kids issue on bullying and I told him he didn’t have to give me a beloved comic and he said – no, I want you to have it because when you read it you’ll think of me.
Please look at these Richard pictures while I pull myself together.
I would know those legs anywhere.

No, I don’t need Richard-pictures when I contemplate that lovely, heartfelt gesture by your little second-grader. What a sweet child! Sometimes they break your heart with their honesty and earnestness. I hope you can reward him somehow.
I”m thinking morning goodies with him tomorrow. Donuts for the 2 of us and orange juice.
That’s a lovely idea. Tell him his gesture made your friends smile and feel happy, too.
There’s a Dunkin’ Donut on my way – although I prefer Krispy Kremes – so they’ll be fresh and hot!!!
Oh, that’s so lovely. Little things can make up for a lot, can’t they 😊
And those legs are just so… elegant. ❤️ And graceful. ❤️❤️ And long. ❤️❤️❤️
This is a long (PTA) hard day and it’s my easy day supposedly. This made it worth it!
Some of your kids are flat out awesome my friend .
They make it worth it
I almost teared up when I read this Zeesmuse! 💖I’m going to share what you said with people I work with and I’m going to send you more comic books. That little boy is going to remember you for the rest of his life. You have made a positive influence on him and hopefully his love of reading will open a brighter future for him as well. Without being able to read, we both know very little is open. I am so proud of you. Selfishly, I am so thrilled right now. It is wonderful accounts like this that are so rewarding for me. Thank you so much for sharing that moment. 💖 😈 Hope your day is not too tiring 🌻
My little Reading Warrior Princesses are enjoying them SO much and that he came to me not for me to read to him, but vice versa… made my day. So it’s all good!
What a present🎀 make me happy to hear! Thank you so much 💖
