Show & Tell: The necklace

This show and tell involved a beautiful silver cross necklace. As my student held her precious possession she explained ... "In life there are times when one has to pawn jewelry, to eat or survive but no matter how bad it gets I will never pawn this necklace" I thought how such a young girl already knew about pawning items.

She then went on to say how there had been several Christmases and birthdays that her mother was unable to purchase her any gifts, however, she said, she was fine with that because she had received this special necklace. Then she explained how it was a git from her mother, and to her how it represented a mothers love...at this point another student pipes in " Wow, the last time I saw my mother she said she wished I was dead...." The class gasped.... Another memorable show and Tell.
