nicknames

Direct quote from student reading journal:

"My nickname wasn't given by my friends, actually my dad gave it to me, but I'm going to tell you what it is anyway. My dad calls me Bowlin Ball Head because my head is so hard it broke one of my grandparents teeth."

I about died laughing, as this is one of the only original nicknames. Most of the kids just wanted to be called "Blabber-mouth" or "Shorty" or "Spiky." For obvious, sixth-grade reasons.

Love these kids.

Poor kid. He must feel guilty.
