This incident was just too cute for words.
This happened while I was acting as an intern teacher in a 3rd grade classroom. (At this point I had taken over the classroom and my mentor teacher mostly sat in the background and helped me when I needed it.)
We took our class on a field trip to a live orchestra so they could hear classical music. I sat with two rows of our students, while my mentor teacher took the last row of students (this row included our talkers, because they sure as shit weren't going to run their mouths with my mentor teacher sitting with them. She was scary like that). I happened to be seated next to one of our quieter girls, who I got along with very well.
The show started, and in the middle of the first song the girl next to me got my attention and asked, "Is that them playing?"
At first I didn't understand what she was asking, so I asked her what she meant.
Student: "Is that them playing the music?"
Me: "That's them playing, yes."
She honestly wasn't sure if the orchestra was creating the music or if they had a stereo set up to play a CD. Obviously someone needs to visit the orchestra more often.
