Thank you all, for your concern and comments. I’ll be responding tomorrow. But I thought I’d share this snippet from today.
One of the boys at my location is fierce; he’s who I had to send home last week for fighting. He’s only about 8 and has such a hard time communicating with words. He tends to resort to his fists when overwhelmed, hence the growling and kicking and fighting last week. But there is a tender side, beneath all the anger. A sweet and loving and absolutely adorable side. So, you can imagine how touching it was to have him come up to me, put his arm around me, give me a small hug, and then whisper in my ear, “Wende, you’re Hannah Montana.”
I can’t tell you how much that has me smiling today.
You *are* Hannah Montana. You rock!

Oh, thanks, Liza Lee. 😀 ~W
I know little about Hannah Montana, but since you are smiling–I’m assuming it’s a compliment. You are making a difference in that young man’s life!

I’m assuming it is too! 😀 ~W
Uh oh … MoC and I just had a conversation about Hannah/Miley. She wants to start a petition to have her banned from all public airwaves … radio, television, elevator muzak, store muzak and public address systems.
Now that we know you are actually Hannah Montana, we may have to rethink this. 😀

Ok, that made me laugh. Seriously, though, I really don’t know much about this child, except she’s on TV. I’ve never heard a song by the talented Ms. Cyrus… and I’ll probably keep it that way. ~W
autograph? please?

*snarf*… you’ll sell it on ebay, won’t you? 😀 ~W
Well…that is a huge compliment coming from that age group…I mean, HM is pretty big around here too…and he’s right you totally ROCK! (and Rozz has a HM wig…you know, if you want to borrow it?)

She has a Hannah Montana wig? That’s very funny. My stylist told me today, that I should dress up as HM for Halloween. Uh.. yeah, probably not. 😀 ~W
never!!! sheesh.

I know a leetle bit about Hannah Montana, and what I do know is that she rocks (and is super adorable, even if it is all marketing) so I completely understand why the compliment was given 😀
And I am so in love with how you took the time to find out there was a sweet boy underneath all that tough guy exterior. I’m sure he is used to being ‘written off’. Seriously, what an awesome gift to give the kid.

Thanks Marie! Our director of the program did some digging and found out that this little boy is mildly autistic and it really puts his behavior into perspective. ~W
You are his rock star. Awesome!

Apparently! Does this mean you’re blogging again? I should go see. 😀 ~W
If this child called you “Hannah Montana” he might have just told you he loves you. Hannah M. is hugely popular and a good kid. In his world you may be a rock star!
