I like your face!

Thanks to my former partner teacher, I've been saying this to my kids for years. It's basically my way of saying, "I like you a lot!" But in all my years of kindergarten, I've never heard one of my kids parroting this phrase. Then this morning, our principal came into our entryway and one of my little boys exclaims, "Mr. Janett, I like your face!" Rumor has it that they like Miss Mac's face too. I think I'll be hearing it a lot in the future since my class is learning English and they latch onto phrases they can repeat. But, it could be worse...I really can't complain about the prospect of being told I have a great face everyday.
