I feel....

Every morning at circle we asks the kids how they are doing. Most of the time they say "I feel happy" or something similar.  However, there are a few kids that have much better responses. One of my Italian children said he feels "happy like a clock." One little girls tells me every morning that she feels "happy like a princess." And my favorite is same child who brought us "Funkadelic with a Triple Spin", who says "I feel silly like an apple." He says this in the same matter of fact response as he states his dance moves. "I feel silly like an apple. There it is, do with it what you will." So now if you ever find yourself wondering how an apple feels, you know. They feel silly. Or if you ever feel silly, know that you are not alone. Apples feel silly too.
