You have a question? They have THE answer!

Even if you don't have a question, wee ones always have something to say.

Here a few memorable exchanges I have had in the last few months.

KINDERGARTEN:  Boys and girls, today you are going to music and phys.ed class.
                                  Aaden - "Are you sure?"

Upon reiterating my name, which they already knew, one little says, "I almost called you Mrs. Zuchini!"  Not to be outdone, another one pipes up, "I almost called you Mrs. Cucumber!

Do you remember me from the last time I was here?
Sadie - The last time you were here, it was awesome!   (Now if THAT doesn't make your day, NOTHING does!)

Audrey- Do you know what I want you to get me for Christmas?
Me - (Trying to keep the laughter out of my voice) No, tell me.
Audrey - An LOL doll.

GRADE ONE:

I wanted them to count some items in French, in a Grade 2 English class.  One little fella says, "This ISN'T a French Immersion class."

Chloe, reading her story on planets, "There was a solar cliff..."

I was relieving the music teacher, who asked the Grade One class coming in:
"And how are you going to treat Madame today?"
They ALL replied in perfect unison, "BETTER than our mothers!"

When I told one sweetie that he rushed to do his work, he replied, "No, I was being quick!"

Issac: There are NO snacks?  GOOD GRIEF!

I was speaking French to another teacher. Piper asks, "Are we in French class?"

"I live in Piksuite Falls."  I racked my brains for a minute, wondering where that place was, when I realized he meant "Nepisiguit Falls".

GRADE 5 - LAST BUT NOT LEAST

I was helping Grade 5 French Immersion students do some research on Canadian provinces.  I typed in "symboles Saskatchewan", and "symboles sataniques" is what came up on the screen. The child, on seeing all the Satanic symbols, innocently says, "Are these BIRDS?"
