Out of the mouths of babes...or just funny kids

I've always wanted to keep a journal of the hilarious conversations I have with the kids at school. Most of the time I get a good laugh and then forget about it by the end of the day. In an effort to remember those "kids say the darndest things" moments, this will be a reoccurring post.

So just a little bit about my job, I'm an elementary school special education resource teacher...what does that mean exactly?? Well, I teach kids with learning disabilities, ADHD, high functioning autism, etc. Most of the kids have average to above average intelligence and are mainstreamed; they just need some extra help with reading, writing, or math. My favorite part of the job is the funny little occurrences that happen on a regular basis. Here are the top four:

1. boy: "Ms. G., are you married?"

    me: "No, I'm not."  

    girl: "No, she's going to be a cat lady the rest of her life, all she ever talks about is her cat."**

**It didn't help this conversation happened well before I got married and my dating life was nonexistent.

2. Scenario: One day, Mrs. L., a teacher who was eight months pregnant, came to school wearing a dress.

    boy: (obviously very concerned) "Mrs. L., why are you wearing a dress??!! Won't the baby fall out?"

3. boy: "Back when my parents were dating, my dad had to choose between proposing to my mom and buying a Porsche."

   teacher: "So, what did he choose?"

   boy: "He proposed to my mom."

   teacher: "Why didn't he buy a Porsche, too?"

   boy: "Because women are REALLY expensive!"

 

Fellow teachers and moms: Any "kids say the darndest things" moments you'd like to share?
