''What's a subdivision?''
''I remember when you were my teacher. It was the BEST DAY ever!'' (If that doesn't make your day, NOTHING will!)
Playing Hangman - ''It's COOL to see someone hang.'' (HUH?)
''Did you know the day BEFORE your birthday, is your Little Birthday? People have to listen to you on your birthday.'' (I guess the rest of the year, they don't have to listen?)
''WOW! I never saw a teacher FALL before.'' (I had slipped on some water in the hallway, and ended up on my knees, right in front of this child! I guess we are NOT mere mortals to them.)
William - ''You DON'T watch TV? (Total incredulity!). TV's my LIFE!!''
Ryan - ''I am giving you an apple, because you give a teacher an apple when you apologize.'' (Bless his little heart!)
Ryan (again!) - He was reading me his letter he had written, when I was distracted by another student. He pauses and says, ''I am waiting for YOU to listen,'' (I wonder where he heard THAT before?)
I was having problems with the Smart Board and one little fellow pipes up,"We need a PROFESSIONAL!''
Simon, did you just ask for a drink. Simon - ''I zink so!"
Dylan - ''Sliding is HEAVEN!''
One student, wanting to show me a tongue twister in a book, adds, in an apologetic tone. ''It has a BAD word in it, though.'' I looked, and I laughed! ''Dick kicks sticky bricks!'' I explained how kids my age grew up reading books called ''Dick and Jane''. I don't think she believed me. :)
While on drop off duty one morning, two little sisters came up to me and told me their mother had had a minor car accident recently. When I asked for details, little Amber in Kindergarten started to tell me, "Well, this OLD LADY,,, and before she could continue further, her older sister, nudged her and said, ''ELDERLY''. I had to chuckle to myself. SO, SO politically correct at such a young age!!
