pajamas

One of my students is constantly amazed by the little things that make me a regular human being and not just the daily figure of "teacher" that he sees every day. He will randomly ask questions such as "You have a mom?!" or "You were a BABY??", his mind wrapping around these common traits that kids and adults share. When I answer him, a giddy smile creeps over his face and he counters my answer with "nu-uh, nu-uh!"
Today, on the bus ride back from our field trip, he took a pause from gazing out the window and pointing out everything he saw, turned to me and in a voice that was almost a whisper said, "Do you have pajamas?"
It took me a while to understand what he was asking me and when I finally did and told him that yes, I had pajamas, he asked,"What color?" I told him: "Blue." He smiled broadly and said, "Awww! I have blue ones too! With motorcycles." His eyes were glowing with amazement at yet another unexpected commonality in the eyes of a 7 year old. Something then caught his eye outside the window and he continued verbally tagging what he saw most of the way back to school.
