Attention, please

After lunch my kids lined up to come back into class.  While we were waiting for the stragglers, one of my girls showed me her red-stained fingers.  I asked "What happened to your fingers?"  She responded "I was doing an art project."  

Thinking that she had perhaps visited the art teacher or her first grade teacher during recess I asked whose room she'd been working in, and what her art project was.  "Oh," she said, "I wasn't working in the art room.  I was coloring my eraser while you were teaching us our science lesson.....but I was paying attention!"
