Improbable, Not Impossible

I feel it fair to warn you that many of my posts are going to contain anecdotes from my job.  Being a science teacher of little ones is bound to give you some cannon fodder. : )

Today's tale (and many in the future, no doubt) features a first grader who will be called "Jenna".  Jenna is adorable, and nothing adds more to that cuteness than her lisp, which would make Urkel proud.  She also happens to command the vocabulary of a 45-year-old.  Jenna was working on building a pinwheel while I was across the room helping some other students.  Her close friend, "Anne" (who looks like Woody Allen), was disagreeing with Jenna's suggestion that it was impossible to take a pinwheel to the Moon to see if it would spin there.  Jenna looked up, face completely deadpan, and replied, "I shaid improbable, not imposshible." 

I think Jenna has the right attitude.  About the same attitude as I had when I asked myself if I could ever find an adorable navy blue dress with a red belt that ALSO happened to have tiny birds all over it and cost less than $40 to make up for the fact that I missed out on the entire Jason Wu for Target collection.  Improbable, but, apparently, not impossible.  Friends, get yourself to 4PlayBrooklyn if you require your own dose of the "improbable".

Cheers,
