Like Mary Poppins' bag
Sometimes when I have students (and several adults that I know) at my house, it seems like they think that I have a magical, endless supply of things. The thought of the consequences of what would happen if they broke my iPod doesn’t cross their mind because I can just buy another one. They can continuously ask me for stickers because I must have a sticker Mama at the market who keeps me in supply.
What they don’t realize is if I really had access to magical things fairy, I would have passed its contact information along to them a long time ago.
