Anyone who works with kids, of any age, knows that they can say the most interesting and humorous things! I like to keep a little notebook in my desk where I can write down the cute/silly snippets of conversations I overhear or comments my students make.
Here are some of the most memorable remarks I have heard recently- What Do the Kids Say- Volume 1
Boy 1- "Wouldn't it be funny if you were bald and you went to get a haircut?"
Boy 2- "It would be even funnier if you were bald, but had a beard and asked for a haircut- would they cut your beard?"
During a project where kids were using Mr. Sketch markers I overheard this gem as one of my boys was doodling with multiple colors at once:
"You could use these if you were going on your first date and you didn't have any deodorant. Just take a bunch of different colors and color your armpits with them. Then you wouldn't stink on your date."
During morning meeting sharing:
Boy: "I just realized I have been wearing the same clothes for over 24 hours"
Me: "did you sleep in your clothes or something?"
Boy: "Yep, and I didn't even change my underwear".
Me: "hmmmm"
"If you smelled me after a whole weekend, you would probably die"
At this point of the year the hormones are starting to appear in 5th grade. During snack break I overheard four of my boys chatting about girls....
Boy #1 "Have you ever kissed a girl?"
Boy #2 "yeah"
Boy #1- "No, I mean a real girl, not a girl like your mom or your dog."
Boy #2 "Well....then no"
Our yearbook committee recently gave all the kids in the school a survey to use as part of the yearbook.
One question was "What is your favorite mode of transportation?" Answers included:
a pegasus
a zombie dragon
a teleporter
a phoenix
Another question was "What is one important lesson you have learned at school?" My favorite answer?
I learned that they will never be a zombie apocalypse.
There you have it folks- What Do the Kids Say- Volume 1.
I hope you enjoyed reading these tidbits as much as I enjoyed hearing them!
