Situation: A substitute didn’t show for the kindergarten class so we split them up around the school. My sixth graders got 8 kindergardeners to take care of for the morning. We didn’t have an attendence list so we asked for their names.

Me: Here are the eight kids we have.

Office: There isn’t a Juan in kindergarden.

Me: He said his name is Juan?

Office: Nope, no Juan.

Me to Kids: Who here is Juan? [Kid raises hand.]

Kiddo: It’s me.

Me: Is your name really Juan?

Kiddo: No, it’s Michael.

Me: Hm…you should have told us we were calling you the wrong name….
