You're looking hot today

After gym, a little boy came up to me and said, "Miss King, you're lookin' pretty hot today." I wasn't sure how to react to this comment. I wondered if maybe this is how they complimented each other at home, or maybe he didn't know what it meant or how inappropriate it would be to say that to your teacher. I stalled, trying to think of what to say. The little boy noticed I was confused so he added a little more to help clarify. "You're kinda sweaty, ya' know. Are ya hot?" To my great relief, I realized that my seven year old student wasn't hitting on me but simply stating the obvious. I guess I wasn't looking so "hot" after all.
