SHIT I CAN'T MAKE UP: Convo between my 7year-old students today 

•  (Names have been altered slightly, just in case.)
• Josie:  I have a new crusshhhhh
• Matt:  Me too! On a boy!
• Pearl:  You're a boy with a crush on a boy?
• Matt:  Yeah he's really cute.
• Pearl:  Oh.
•  (pause for a bit)
• Matt:  Boys can like boys. I just can't marry him because boys can't marry boys.
• Me:  Yeah they can. You can marry whoever you want.
• Matt:  Really?
• Josie:  YEAH my tia has a wife so now I have a titi and a auntie.
• Matt:  Okay. Then maybe I'll marry him.
• Dave:  (from across the room) No you can't you're seven.
•  (Age was apparently the only foreseeable problem anyone of my elementary schoolers could see with gay marriage. I almost cried out of happiness. Later, when I was asked if boys could kiss anyone they wanted, I replied "only if they want to kiss you back." And Josie responded "Yeah! Your body your life.")
•  My students are the shit.
