Kids Say the Darndest Things... Part II
Here's some "clips" from the classroom this week to go into your weekend with:
1. One little boy wanted to know how I saw him do something when I wasn't looking at him. I replied, "Because teachers see everything." He says, "Oh...you were doing the corner eye, huh."
2. Forgot to make copies of something. A little girl asks me if I did it and I said, "No, Miss V. forgot..." She says, "See, you turn into grown-ups and forget everything." Yeah, that's pretty much it...
3. Past students came down to eat lunch. One asks, "Do you have a husband?" One of my students pipes in and says, "Nah, she doesn't have a husband...she doesn't even have a boyfriend!" (How does he know this?!)
4. Another boy asks me, "Do you like being a teacher?" I said, "Yes, I love it..." He says, "You like bossing, huh."
5. Sitting in their seats working, one boy stands up and quips, "I just farted in my chair." Nice.
6. Student: "Some hillbillies have teeth that are stuck like this" And proceeds to stick out his front teeth and cover his bottom ones with his lip.
7. Watching the butterfly video..."Why are they stuck together?" I just sat there silently, trying to figure how to answer without being asked an additional five billion questions of explanation, and another girl says, "They're MAting." Thankfully, no other questions followed.
8. Watching Homeward Bound when Sassy the cat goes over the waterfall. Boys Response: "Awwww cool! Whoa!!!!" Girls response: Little faces of shock with hands over their mouth and sad eyes.
9. Little girl sitting on the carpet during reading time had been messing with a loose tooth. She says, "Miss V. I lost my tooth!" I said, "Awesome!" not understanding why she looked somewhat sullen...then she says, "No, I lost it!" She couldn't find it. That statement was followed by stories of kids swallowing teeth, etc. and finally we returned back to reading Old Yeller.
10. After reading in our Weekly Reader about the peanut crop having a rough year, a concerned student approaches me saying, "Miss V.! Peanut butter and jelly is gonna go away! There's no more peanuts!" Hope he likes balogna. (I don't know how to spell that. If I ruled the world, it would be spelled baloney.)
11. I was talking to the class and I heard this voice...come to find out a video had been playing on my laptop when I shut it (about dung beetles?) and it kept playing even with it shut so I was hearing the narrator. While looking for the source of the "mystery voice," a boy says, "Maybe it's someone who wants to marry you...and he's talking to you..." Wow. Really?
These are only the ones I was able to record on post-it notes during the day. There are probably roughly 30 more...
I love my job. Keeps me laughing all day long and is full of hugs and making kiddos smile. What could be more fun? G'nite world!
