We are Going to Fwowida!

Well, school has started up again, and as usual my students are a great source of entertainment to me.  I love listening to them talk to each other.  It's like getting a glimpse into a secret society.  Lately, the subject of great discussion has been a proposed trip to Florida.  One of my little guys has been telling me that he and his family are going to "Fwowida" in 4 days.  He has been saying this for almost two weeks, so I'm not sure how credible this information is, but he seems pretty adamant. Although he did tell me last year that a zombie ate his cousin's cat, and he thinks my classroom is a paradise, so I will let you be the judge.  Anyway, he has generously invited the other students to go to Florida with his family.  He assured them that his mom and dad would say it was ok, and that they should pack a suitcase with clothes and toys and snacks and a swim suit because everyone in Florida has a swimming pool  and come to his house.  All this was during a math lesson about adding double numbers.  He was so convincing that by the end of class, the students were comparing notes on what they were going to pack and which toys they should bring to Florida.  I wonder if his parents would mind if I came too?
