The House in the Newspaper

Five year olds are a never ending source of entertainment.  (This is one of the main reasons I am still teaching.) 

Today a very well respected five year old bounced in the classroom door and proudly announced, "My house is gonna be in the newspaper!"

This sounded good to me, but I needed to know WHY?  Why was his house going to be in the newspaper?  I didn't have to wait long to find out.  He then announced, "Because our house is so fancy that EVERYONE wants it!"

A buzz began around the room as his peers were tuning in to the potential for overnight notoriety!  If I wasn't mistaken there were a few classmates who had a longing look wishing they too would have their house featured in the newspaper.

Of course I am not one to believe everything a five year old says.  So, I dropped an email to this child's mum and dad to find out the scoop!  Sure enough, they ARE going to have their home featured in a local magazine this summer because they built this house on a shoestring budget and packed it with some amazing features. 

I wonder if the teacher of the child can show up for the photo shoot somehow.....
