Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh

Ya gotta love working with five and six year olds. Here are some of the things I heard today, during my eight and a half hour stint with the kids:

In the changeroom at the pool:
-(while staring at 200 identical lockers) "which one did I put my stuff in?"
-"I can't find my pants!"

On the bus:
-"Something's wrong! I can't feel my bum!"
-"We just passed my house! Did you see it?" (two minutes later) "Hey, we passed my house again!" (two minutes later) "No, that one's my house. Maybe the other one was my granny's house."

All day long:
-"Shelby and Devin, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-I-S-N-G!" (sic)

Maybe we should introduce spelling time instead of craft time.

children say excellent things. I still the classic remains my favorite: "banana aren't you glad I didn't say orange?"
