The Poison Apple

So this year for Halloween I decided to dress up as Snow White. I kept it a secret from all of my kids when they asked me what I was going to be. So it was a lot of fun to see their reactions when I picked them up from the bus that morning. All of my little girls were so excited that I was a princess, especially the one who came as Cinderella. It was so cute to see their reaction. Needless to say, the morning was crazy with a parade and playing a few Halloween games. After lunch my kids came in from recess and I was still finishing the last part of my lunch. As I was eating an apple and getting them all settled, one of my little, more verbal, kiddos looked at me with a shocked face and said...
"Mrs. Holden! Have you not seen the movie? Do you not know what an apple will do to you? Why are you eating a poison apple? It will kill you!"
I just had to laugh. What a smart little girl. I was actually really impressed that she made that kind of connection. It took a little while for all of my other kids to realize what she had said and we all had a really good laugh!
