kids are funny - sharing thread/poll
s/o Krista's post about missing her students
Anyone have some funny "Kids say the darndest things" moments to share?
When I went in to visit my class a few weeks ago for the first time with Danica, they had me cracking up. Among the comments/questions:
**I walk in with D. The kids jump up and down shouting PEANUT!** So cute. They used to come in every day and tap on my belly and say hi to peanut. they were sooo pumped about her coming to visit.
"Mrs ***, you look so YOUNG!" (I guess pregnancy makes you look old)
"Mrs ***, your voice is different" (yes, because I'm not yelling at you hehe)
student1: Was DD in your belly?
me: yes that was Peanut
student1: How did she get there?
me: I have no idea, I just woke up and she was in my belly one day
student 2: she was an EGG first, and then
me: let's save the egg talks for easter, she was just there
student1: so does that mean D has a baby in her belly?
me: no, not yet. Maybe when she grows up
student1: then why is her belly so big?
student3: because she eats too much!
OMG myself and the other teacher were in hysterics
"Does D know how to fight?" (from an exuberant little male in my class)
me: No, because she has heard me remind you about how fighting is wrong on a daily basis for months before she got here. She's an expert on playground behaviour
"Oh. Because she's showing me her fists. I think she wants to fight me."
And this one, I felt kind of awkward after:
"Mrs ***, we wish you were still our teacher."
"yeah me too" "me too" "yeah you are funnier than Mrs ***"
student: "What is D's favourite activity?"
me: "playing. she plays all day"
student: "you better tell her that when she gets bigger, she doesn't get to play as much. In Kindergarten we played for half the day and now in Grade 1 we only play for 15 minutes at recess. And my brother is in Grade 6 and they don't even GET recess. That's sad"
Ah how I laugh at those cutie pies. Anyone else have some funnies to share?

Mom, why are you washing my feed in the sink?!
lol. Those are hilarious.
DD comes up with something every day but the one that gets the most laughs?
A couple of months ago she was playing in the living room. DH was laying on the couch like a lump staring off into space. She kept looking up and semi-glaring at him. He was so lifeless. And not engaging with her. And this apparently annoyed her. So what did she do?
She pointed to the door and said,
"Daddy! Go to church. Pray to Jesus."
Then she continued playing. And DH and I cracked up.
BA HA HA HA! So hilarious!!!
In our last music class before leaving on this trip, J marched up to the teacher in the middle of a song and proudly declared, "I going be big brother!" Several times when we called him from Reykjavik, he said, "I on 'cation" (vacation).
And MoroccoJade's story reminded me of the one and only time we have video-taped us saying grace before supper, was the first time ever that we got to the end of grace and J called out, "Go God!"
Some J'isms:
We have been learning about bones, skin and whatnot. He wanted to know where the bone in his penis is.
"Justin Timberlake is my best friend."
"My hair is all gnarly. I need a bath tonight."
"Santa Claus 'hos' around the neighborhood." He has a Santa Claus tee that he wears to bed sometimes. We were talking about Christmas and how Santa brings stuff to people in neighborhoods.
OMG I am laughing so hard.
I've seen that video of Frau's J doing the "yay God." A gut-buster for sure!
And Faith's J-man - he is too funny! I must have a daily J-ism to get through my day. You need to update me more on these
When it was Thanksgiving and i was in kindergarten, my teacher asked me "Sarah, what does a turkey say?" and without skipping a beat i yelled "COCKADODADOOOOOOO" Needless to say ive never lived it down or learned my barnyard animals.
I think my wires were crossed!
hahah awwww poor you - that's ok - plenty of time to learn barnyard animals!
