Kids say the darnest things...

Since I have shared my diagnosis publicly, I have had the opportunity to be humored almost daily by the darnest things that kids say...Unfortunately I can't remember them all!  So I have decided to keep a running log and to update the blog every time I hear a new one.  Please feel free to add anything a child has said to you when they heard the news.  The way their brains work just tickle me pink...no pun intended.

*One of my students asked me if she could talk to me in private...she had a very serious, but curious look on her face...She asked me to lean down and then whispered in my ear..."Mrs Lintz...are they going to cut em off?" 

*Several girls at school were showing off there dance moves at recess...one of my favorite past times.  One of the girls jumped out with a lot of charisma, spread her arms out wide, and announced "This performance is brought to you by Mrssss. Lintz's breaasssst cancerrr!!" 

*"Mom, does Aunt Danielle's voice sound different because she has cancer?" - Aubrey

*The day after my first treatment..."Is your breast cancer all gone now?"

*On Monday, one of my gentlemen said, "Mrs. Lintz...is your hair falling out yet?"  I replied no and he said..."maannn."  I asked him if he was upset about that and he shrugged his shoulders and kinda nodded his head.  I figured he was very curious.  Who wouldn't want to see their teacher with a bald head...not something you see everyday!!  I told him not to worry it will happen soon...and... he smiled!!

*My girls were braiding my hair at recess.  One of them parted my hair and said "DANG girl your scalp is WHITE!! Your head is going to look crazy white when your hair falls out!"  UMMM not quite sure what color she was expecting???

*Today I wore sandals with a heel..."Mrs. Lintz...I think the breast cancer has made you taller..."

So my hair started falling out yesterday.  This morning I showed Chase the large clump of hair that I removed from my hair when I took my pony tail out.  He replied, "Mom...we are going to have to ban you from sitting on our furniture.  You don't let Lilly on the furniture because she sheds...so I can't let you!!"  His delivery was awesome...he's so darn cute and witty!! I just adore his sense of humor.  Jr and I were cracking up.

Okay...so there are waaay more than that...I just can't think of them right now.  I will add them as I hear them!!
