S#*! My Class Says
"What's up, girlfriend?" is the way I was greeted by the first arriving little boy today.
Later, I was waiting for a different kid who moves at a snail's pace and said something along the lines of "My hair is going to turn gray." He finally gets his book and pencil, sits down next to me and says "You're right, you ARE going gray" with a lot of emphasis on "are" I didn't know if if I should laugh or cry.
A little while after that, I asked the same kid's table to quiet down and I hear him say to someone, "Stop judging me, I'm just a kid!"
He is also the same kid who a while back, contemplated a question I asked for a moment , threw up his hands, shrugged and exclaimed "I got nothin'!"
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz

Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
2nd grade.
I used to teach 6th and 7th graders who either didn't say funny things as much or maybe just weren't as cute.
They're not as cute. I just hope my 7th graders make it through the day without swearing at or physically threatening each other.
I don't miss those days but if a 7th grader had commented on my gray hair, I probably would've been the one doing the swearing.
lol. Stop judging him!
When Heith was teaching fourth grade, he took the kids on a field trip to see this big government building and this high up government official lady was talking to them and answering questions. It was already a funny sight because they were sitting in this official meeting room with these huge chairs-- so he said they all looked tiny and hilarious sitting there drinking their juice boxes. And then this happens:
Gov. Lady: ...and some of these buildings have been around for many decades!
Kid: *slowly raises hand*
GL: Yes?
Kid: So.. how old is THIS building, anyway?
GL: Oh... well, I'm not sure exactly how old this particular building is, but it's been around a lot longer than me!
Kid: *takes a swig of juice, looks GL up and down* ...WOW...
GL: *looks affronted*
Kid: ....really?...That old?
GL: *Promptly concludes question and answer time*
Heith said he felt bad for not stepping in and trying to make the situation less awkward, but it was all he could do to keep from bursting into a fit of laughter, because the kid was so sincerely shocked that the building was THAT old.
Another time, during a book discussion when he asked a group of grade six kids what they thought "courtly love" meant, one kid was like "I think that's like, when you fall in love with a judge."
I am thinking of so many stories now. Teachers and spouses of teachers, we need to start sharing these on slow days.
A friend's FB status about their kid mishearing them reminded me of another from this week.
Aide-Use "price" in a sentence.
DontJudgeMe- Ohh! I know....JESUS CHRIST!
The aide and I cracked up because the assistant principal had been looking in the closed door with an interviewee at that exact moment and prompty took her to see another class.
