IT'S CHESTER!!!

It's Chester!!!

Chester is one of our favorite characters. We have read all three books written by Melanie Watt- oops, I mean Chester! You'll have to check these stories out if you haven't read them. This cat is quite the comedian and has a precious mouse sidekick to add to the appeal. Ever since we have read these stories, the students quote Chester constantly. 

So I have reasoned with my students previously that I can't possibly be the one painting the characters onto the desk because I'm not a good artist.

Well... this is how one child's logic worked as he tried to crack me.

Student: Mrs. MacLeod, I think you're the one painting the desk.
Me: Really? Well, it can't be me because I'm not a good artist.
Student: Well, actually the characters aren't really that good. I see smudges, so I don't think it could be the real authors sneaking in here... I mean, they don't look exactly like the book characters.
Me: Oh Really? (with a big grin)

I will make a general announcement soon that I'm the artist, but until then the logic of my students has been quite amusing.
