207 year old first grader

As a substitute teacher, I get to meet new people all the time. Everyday is interesting. Well just yesterday I got to meet a unique little boy.

I was subbing for an art teacher. The first grade class that came in got do draw anything they wanted for the class period. I was walking around looking at all the different things they were coming up with when I got to this one student. He looked up from his drawing to tell me, with a most serious look on his face, that he fought in the Vietnam War. He didn’t stop there. He continued to tell me that he fought in the battle of Kernt in 1928. 

Now I know that that’s a bit early for the Vietnam War and I had never heard of that battle before but I played along. 

"That’s amazing but how come you look so young still?" I asked him. I could tell him that he was pleased that I was playing along. 

"I was shot and it just froze me at this age. I’m really 207 though." He told me still keeping to serious look on his face. 

This was the cutest story I have heard so far. I was pleased that I was able to keep it together while he was in there. I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did!
