Got Ghost Body?

So I had another interesting conversation with one of my kids the other day...

We were sitting at carpet and I noticed (I will call her "A") looking a bit worrisome and maybe about to cry.  I puller her aside and this is what we talked about:

Me: You look like you're really sad, are you ok?

A: Well...I am just not sure I am use to my Ghost Body yet.

(at this point I am realizing I just opened a can of worms...ghost body?)

Me: Your Ghost Body?  What is a Ghost Body?

A: It's just something you can be born with.  But Angie gave me mine.  And I am just not so sure I am use to it yet.

Me: How did Angie give you your Ghost Body?

A: We were just over in the playhouse center and she just snapped her fingers and then I got it.

Me: Well, do you believe in Ghost Bodies?  Do you really think you have one?

A: Well I don't believe in ghosts, but I don't know about Ghost Bodies.

Me: Ya I don't believe in ghosts either, so I don't think I believe in Ghost Bodies.

A: I know, but I really want to trust Angie.  She is my friend, and I really want to be able to trust her...because she is my friend, and friends are people you trust.  I just don't know how use to my Ghost Body I am.

Me: Well you are right, but sometimes our friends believe in different things than we do, and we can still be friends...believing in different things.

A: Yeah.  But I also really want to be in her club.  And she said I can't be in her club until I am use to my Ghost Body.

(wow)

Me: Well it sounds like you don't really believe in ghost bodies, and neither do I.  And it seems like it isn't making you happy, so it's your decision now...

A: Ok.

We talked about it for a bit longer but that was the main part of the convo.  Interesting, huh!  She is the smartest student in my class...and I could tell she was in the middle of a real life dilemma!   But honestly, what in the WORLD is a Ghost Body anyway!??  Seriously, these kids are so funny.  I will have to dig deeper and ask the girl who gave it to her what a Ghost Body is.  I will let you know what I find!!

Here are a couple pics from the old classroom..

Some of our rules....Pretty much don't act like a 5-year-old (as you can imagine it can be tough sometimes.

This one is hilarious.  At the beginning of the year, we give them these blank little person cut-outs and they decorate them to look exactly like them....Imagine if someone's mouth was really like this!!??  hahahaha
