I don't know how it started but I've been reading her husband's blog and I know a lot about her. There's just something about her. Her smile. Her hair. Her eyes. Everything about her is just perfect. What's really weird is that she does not have any kids of her own, and from the pictures I've seen of her and her husband I could totally pass for their kid. I kind of want to tell her all this but I don't know how. Please comment with your answers. Also, please no lectures. Reply to this Question

I really wouldn't advise you to tell her. Just be yourself, look up to her, and work hard in her lessons. There is nothing wrong with idolising/admiring her. I totally agree with platinumfocus: you can't choose your parents, but you can choose your idols.She will probably be flattered to know you look up to her, but don't overdo it by telling her (or anyone, for that matter, unless you REALLY trust them. This is because you don't know how the person will view your feelings, and it could get back to your teacher or your mother).You say you "want to tell her". It would be a safe comprimise to show/tell her that you really admire and look up to her rather than you love her in a mother/daughter way.Whether you actually verbally tell her or not, you can still show her by chatting to her, looking up to her, and working hard in her lessons. Doing this is also likely to make her feel fond of you in return (but don't cling to this hope of returning feelings please).Good luck with whatever you decide :) :)xx

 First, it is a little weird that you read her husbands blog. Maybe you should try getting to know her on your own.
I think that how you feel is perfectly normal, and alright. It sounds like you really admire this woman. While you cannot choose your parents, you can choose your mentors.
I don't suggest telling her you want to be her child. That would likely make both of you very uncomfortable. You might want to try telling her that you look up to her, teachers always appreciate that.
