Had A Pleasant Surprise At Work Today

So today was the first day of school (not my first day back to work, we teachers came back for professional development two weeks ago).

I finally got to meet all my new students. In one of my classes, as I walked from table to table listening in as the students completed introductory first day activities, the topic of favorite movies came up at one group.

One kid said his favorite movie was A L I E N! I was like "You like Alien!? I LOVE Alien!"(I was in disbelief that 6th graders could watch such scary movies). 

Of course, the kid is all "0_o You like Alien!?" (In disbelief that we stodgy teachers could possibly enjoy or be aware of such cool movies)

Then one kid from across the room calls out "But have you guys seen Alien: Covenant!?".

OMG guys. This is a sign that it's going to be a good year.

I just really had to share that with you all. :)
