Kids! What's Not to love? Plus laugh!

The school year is wrapping up. Here are some chuckles I have saved over the last few months. Enjoy!

On a very cold winter day, in the school yard on duty, little Tina runs up to me and says, "Madame, you are all BUNNED up!"

We were doing a body/brain break on You Tube, which was quite a lively dance work-out. The video was ending soon so I let the children know that.  One chubby little sweetie immediately commented with "I  am happy about that!" 

One particular Grade 5 student with whom I have a special bond, and with whom I share seven second hugs the first time I see her in any given day, came up to me after a class in the library one day. She  whispered to me quietly, and almost reluctantly, the following.  "Madame, some students think you are too STRICT!" That made my day!

In music class, when I asked a class of Grade One students if the instrument they had just seen in a cartoon video, was a clarinet, I was told emphatically by one little one... "NO! It's a stick!

Asking how many students there were in their class, as I brought them to the gym, as I always count heads, I was told by one... "We are missing one!" :)

Grade 5 - "Madame, you are 69? DANG!!!"

Grade 5 - "Madame, you are my SECOND favourite teacher." I will take it, his home room teacher being the first, of course. 

During a math activity in Grade One, the response I wanted to my question, "If you put a plus sign here, you will get a big, fat ...? I wanted ZERO as a response but I received COW!

In the same Grade One class, a big box of pencils fell unexplicably off the shelf, and scattered everywhere, whereupon Jason explained, "It was probably a flying pancake!" Huh? He had been writing about "colossal pancakes" so that was his mindset. 

Grade One again! Me: You have to take your plant home because there is no one here to water it on the weekend. Reply from Alex? "Teachers stay here on the weekend!" I burst out laughing right there. 

The same little one informs me in the same day, that his Grandmother is coming to visit from Morocco. When I asked him how long his grandmother was going to be in Canada, he replied "SIX years and FIVE days." How accurate can you get?

When playing a two team multiplication game in Math with a Grade Four class, in my instructions I added that I did not want to hear any derogatory words starting with L, such as LOSER, when the game was over.  To which one quick witted child sang out "LEMON!" 

A kindergartener when I was on late bus duty, poked me and exclaimed  "I NEMBER you!

Telling one particular little scamp that he had had a good day in class, as I walked him to the bus, he replied, "Tell my Mom and Dad!" When I said I had no way of communicating with them, he had an answer. "Maybe I could call you on my IPad. What's your account number?"

Believe it or not!!!
