The Children

The truth is on Monday the kids were stinkers. and even though today was Jump Like a Frog Day, I just couldn't take it and there was no leap frog. And so, I decided I needed to remember why I love the dears so much. Therefore, I've decided to share my favorite lines and moments as of late. Enjoy!

(After learning I lived in an apartment) Oh, I didn't know you were poor, you wear such beautiful clothes.

(After learning that I am going to Africa) Don't do it Miss R, my cousin went to the same place you are talking about and they came up to him, pinched him and said, "You look good enough to eat." And they meant it Miss R, because they are starving, don't go, they will eat you.

(After a lesson on probability) Miss R thanks for teaching us how to gamble, can we bring you to Vegas?

(One dreary, cold winter morning) Miss R can I give you a hug, because Lindsey says you're not a morning person.

(During a game show moment) Wait, we had China but then you said we couldn't have a continent?

(During geography after the question, "What is the line of latitude at zero degrees?") Ecuador!

(On another cold, dreary day.) Miss R I brought my robe to wear today, because I'm not feeling well, and it makes me feel better. (Nothing warms your heart more than a sixth grader in a purple, woolly bathrobe)

(This is one of my favorite heart warmers) Miss R I made you a Mother's Day present, and I know you're not my mom, but at school I feel like you are. Happy Mother's Day!

Miss R a closed mind is a good thing, because an open mind is like open and so it gets out and gets bigger. Uh. . . wait, never mind.

Favorite grammar mistakes from country power points they made:

East meats West

Religion: Some are proteins

Bucharest: It is horrible and smells like guts.

Favorite phrase taped to a child's tote tray : Candy, it is a miracle!

Favorite thing they write on the board: Grammer Edit

I could go on and on with the funny ones, and then forever about all of their brilliant lines. It all comes down to the fact that they are adorable, and since tomorrow is "Chicken Dance Day" you can bet it is going to be great. (And I'm really not making up these holidays, I got them from a holiday website, and if I had the energy and thought process I would somehow have it link to the word website and then you could look at it, but that would require some figuring out, and like I said, it wasn't a leap frog day.)
