My Right Pinkie

Yesterday I read with a student during silent reading time. When we were finished with the book I was asking him questions about the story. Here is how the rest of the conversation went:

STUDENT: Can I see your finger that you got stung by the scorpion?


ME:Oh sure, but there is no mark left. (showing him the finger) When I got stung it took me a minute to realize what happened then I put ice on it and took some medicine to help with the pain.


His question made me chuckle because a few weeks earlier I had asked him what his favorite animal was and he replied that it was a scorpion!!
