A/N: Yeah so it's been years, but I was never completely happy with how it turned out, but figured I might as well post it...

"So John, why don't you show me what sort of pretty picture you made." I said as I leaned down and smiled at John in that way that all teachers do when you're young. He flashed me a huge grin and grabbed his paper off of the makeshift canvas I had in my classroom. He held it with his pinkie and index finger trying not to ruin it with getting the paint from his other fingers on it.
I took it from him and stared at it confused by what I saw. There was nothing but the colors red, yellow and orange on his entire canvas paper. "Oh...this is pretty John...what is it?"
His smile grew even wider, "It's FIRE!!" He jumped up and threw his paint covered hands in the air. She nodded her head at his answer, "Fire? Well...fire is...nice..."
He turned around and started painting again, which I assumed was another picture of fire once again. Note to self, ask principle to have John talk to a counsler. I slowly walked away from him and went to look on Ororo.
Ororo stood at the counter on her tippy-toes holding a toy watering can. "Hey Ororo, what'cha doing?"
Ororo didn't bother look up at me as she continued to feed the plants. "Watering."
Looking around I touched the leaves on one of the plants, "Yeah? These are really pretty, you know that?" Ororo gave me a quick smile, said thanks and went back to watering. Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, I scratched my nose. "So what kind of plants do we have here?"
Ororo pointed to a yellow one, "Tha's a daisy!" She then pointed to the one next to it, "And tha's a tulip!" Finally she pointed to the one that I had been exaiming, "And that one is poison ivy!"
My eyes went wide, "Wh-what was that last one Ororo?"
She smiled up at me like it was nothing, ah the innocence of childhood. "Poison ivy."
I nodded at her, "I see...well you know what? Why don't I take this and put it up. And I...I um, need to go to the nurse...dear God..."
