The Truth Hurts

Today was the first day of school. I had noticed a name on my list that sounded familiar...I thought perhaps I had a sibling or cousin of the person on my list. So this morning, as kids were working on the various sheets on their desks, I walked around the room. I got to the boy whose last name I thought I recognized...

Me: Did I have a brother or sister of yours? Or maybe a cousin?
Boy: You had my brother, Andrew.
Me (jokingly): Did he say, "Oh, too bad you have Mrs. Teacher! I hated her!"
Boy nods seriously.
Me: Really? He really said that?
Boy nods again.

The truth hurts.
