Only the kids in Utah...

The other day my second graders were learning about plants, and there is always that kid that has to ask questions about everything. Well, in my class it is the one that is a bit on the chubby side, the one that thrives on attention, and loves to tell jokes. The other day he started asking where plants come from-which came first, the flower or the seed? The type of 'which came first, the egg or the chicken' sort of question. It's a hard question to answer to a second grader. The question was kind of avoided. My second grader gets all serious and you can tell that he is thinking really hard. The whole class is listening to every word...what is he going to say? He puts his hands together and says, "Well I think Jesus made the first flower." The class erupts and everyone talks about how Jesus was the one..of course, because they all grew up learning that... And of course, this discussion not being allowed in school, is ended by "Well some of us believe that, but not everyone." And moving on....
