Blogging has been on hiatus over the past several weeks as
the school year gets begins to wind down. I thought today I’d share a few of
the hilarious things my students have said to me lately. Yes, I keep a pen and
paper near at all times to record these for future laughs. These are keeping me sane as all the
kiddos are beyond ready for school to be out.
I’m pretty sure these each came from a different child, so
this is a glimpse into the wonderful world of my kindergarten classroom… Enjoy!
1.
Student: “Me and my brother are going to be in a
wedding in June. I get to dress up like a cowgirl.”
Me: “Oh really? That will be so much fun.”
Student: “Yea, and my brother gets to be
the ring BARRIER.”
2.
Student: “Mrs. Garland, we’ve been outside too
long for recess today. I’m getting STUN-burnt.”
Me: Shaking
my head.
3.
Student: “I had to go to the doctor yesterday
cause I’m having surgery this summer.”
Me: “Oh no. What kind of surgery? Are you
nervous about it.”
Student: “No, I’m not scared or anything. I’ll
be asleep when they cut me. And when they’re all done, they will put SNITCHES
in it.”
4.
Student: (Sniffs
my arm. I know, right??) “Mrs. Garland, you smell like the Easter Bunny.”
Me: “Not sure what that means, but thanks I
think. Is that good?”
Student: “Yea, you know, like jelly beans
and chocolate.”
5.
At the police department for a field trip, and the
K-9 Unit is doing a demonstration when….
Student: “Is that dog a werewolf?”
Officer: “No, she’s just a German Shepherd.”
Me: Shaking
my head.
6.
Again, at the police department for a field
trip, and the officer is describing the tools he uses for his job.
Officer: “This is our gun… This is a taser….
This is a flashlight…. These are handcuffs.”
Student: “My mama’s got a pair of those”
Officer: “Does she now?”
Me: Doing
that silent laugh that hurts because something was too inappropriately funny,
shaking my head, and wishing sometimes I had a video camera to record these
priceless moments.
We’ve
almost made it to summer, people. I will miss these children next year, but I
know they will share some great wisdom with their first grade teachers.
