Upon seeing me, her face lit up, and she exclaimed (very loudly, I might add), "Miss L., I can't believe how many people adore you!"

Instead of questioning her, though, I sarcastically (yes, I believe there is a place for sarcasm in schools) replied, "Well, I am pretty awesome!"
She then turned to her aide, seeking approval, and declared, "She's soooo popular! I want to be popular like her!" she declared.
It was all I could do to not burst out laughing right then and there. I'm not sure how I feel about called popular by any student, much less this particular one, but if my classroom celebrity continues to rise, I think I just found the president of my fan club!
Seriously... kids are hilarious!
