It's bedtime, and the teacher has fallen asleep before she can sew in her ears. She wakes up to find that her brother is wearing a special outfit that his mother made for him, and that his sister has made a special bear for him. The teacher thinks that it's cool that his brother's mother made the bear, even if it doesn't belong to her or her husband, because he's so devoted to his brother. She also thinks that the fight between the two boys in the hallway was probably a bad one, because the teacher is trying to protect her job. She says that she's not perfect, but that she still loves her job and loves the children.
