I told my class about my husband's deployment today.
Their first questions:
What's deployment?
When will he be back?
What would happen is he said he didn't want to go? (I explained he can't say that)
What would happen if he quit? (Again I explained quitting isn't an option)
Yeah but, what would the consequences be if he DID quit?
How long has he been in the army?
All questions that have gone through my head at some point.
Their next questions were uniquely kid questions:
Does he have to shave his head?
What if there was a girl in the army would she have to shave her head?
Does he fight people? (From a child with a sparkle in his eyes who waited to ask the question until I walked past him. He knew he shouldn't say it in front of the class, but he just had to ask.)
How long does college take? (From a kid who is easily distracted. Not sure what path his brain took to get here.)
One more thing to add to the lesson plans. Accurate information about soldiers with some more Q & A time. And I guess I should talk about college too.
