The Ice Cream Lady (aka the Statue of Liberty)

During the free conversation time at the beginning of class Jenny (3rd grade) came up to my desk and asked me to stand up. Why? "Just because! Please, teacher!" Okay, I'm standing up, now what? "Teacher! Teacher!" as she bent her neck to look up at me, "Teacher! What is tall, teacher or ice cream lady?" Thinking, thinking, ice cream lady? A-ha! Which is taller, me or the Statue of Liberty! Jenny, the Statue of Liberty is very big! "How big?" I went inside the Statue, along with lots of other people! It's as big as the 63 Building—maybe. It's very very big! And it's not ice cream, it's a torch with fire!!
