IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN...

when the wee ones are back at school, and I am enjoying my conversations with them.  Here are a few, collected in the last few weeks.

Kindergarten/Maternelle:

J'ai un "gun" et je peux tuer un chevreuil toute seule. (Paroles d'une petite mignonne, haute comme trois pommes!)

Mon père est allergique au homard. Pas moi, mais on ne prend pas de chance! (Un petit qui a des allergies sévères aux crevettes!)


1ère année/Grade 1

Il a tiré la corde, le diable à faire!

Guess who's home? (Me- I don't know. Your Dad?)  NO... he's in JAIL and my stepfather is in the trailer.  My Dad is in jail because he set fire to his home.

I need a time-out!  Me- Why?  I was rude. (She wasn't rude; she just wanted her water bottle back, that I had her put away, because she was constantly fiddling with it.)

2ième année/Grade 2

Is my teacher on a holiday?

C'est comme ça qu'arrivaient les bébés, avant, dans le bec d'une cigogne? (Question incrédule d'une petite après une histoire que je leur avait lue.)  Moi - Non, mais c'est qu'on faisait accroire aux enfants.  La petite - PHEW!

Me - What is "green" in French?  G r e n e - replies one little redhead, rolling the r like a Scotsman. :)

Grade 3:
Madame, the door is knocking! (Sweetest little Syrian child who didn't speak English a year ago!)

Me- Why did you call him a crybaby? Rina - I was feeling a little stressed.
Me- Did you apologize to him? Rina - Well, some are saying that isn't enough. (What? What else is the poor child supposed to do?)

You must eat "vegdabells," (in her writing)

Bonne semaine à tous! Have a great week!
