Kids Say the Cutest Things
I thought it would be fun to share some of the cute sayings that have come right out of the mouths of babes here in my classroom. Please know that I do this with only good intentions as some of the things they say are so innocent and sincere that you can't help but giggle. We hope they make you smile, too.
While eating an orange for snack time one of my students asked if it was okay to eat the seeds and DL said, "If you eat a seed, it'll come out your ear - that's what my Dad always teases me."
During Calendar this morning, my students figured out through their question and answer responses that one thing in the sharing bag was a car and when DW was chosen to ask the last question he said, "Is it a Toyota?"
After CCC today, RF said to MD, "You smell like a glowstick." MD wrinkled his nose and said, "A glowstick?" I asked MD if his Dad gave him a hug this morning and maybe now he smells like his cologne and AD said, "No, my Mom put boys spray on him."
This afternoon when I told DW thank you for being our first Star of the Week, he said, "Oh, you're welcome. It was my pleasure."
After running twice around the track today in P.E., SP came back to the room and said, "My heart is gone....it's out of power."
During snack time today CH asked, "Do we get a refill?" (he was really asking if they got seconds on the cantaloupe.)
While Mrs. Gacke was checking her school e-mail on the student computer, AS asked, "Mrs. Gacke, you doin' your AR test or what?"
On the 50th day of school when most everyone was dressed up in their 1950's outfits (including me in my poodle skirt), SD said to me, "I didn't have a chihuahua skirt to wear."
After our Halloween party, I was reminding everyone to use the bathroom before they go out for recess and RF shouted out, "You don't have to say that, Mrs. Boekhout, we already know."
DL came up to me today during Reading and said, "Mrs. Boekhout, I think there's something wrong with my orange, cuz when I color it changes to yellow."
This morning during Calendar, AS said, "My brother, Zach, lost a tooth, should we write it down?"
Today at Premier Estates, the Lyon County Naturalist held up a fox pelt and AS said, "That kind of looks like a costume for babies."
While examining the coyote pelt, RF said, "Hey, his claws are still here."
After the Lyon County Naturalist explained that the pigmy shrew was a mounted animal from the taxidermist and the children couldn't touch it, RF said, "Oh, you can't touch it and then it's gonna be awake."
This morning MD sat down at our student computer by the window and said, "The lights are on, I need the curtains down." (he meant the sun was shining in his eyes)
MG came up to my desk and said, "Guess what I have? I have feelings in my mouth." (she meant fillings)
When I asked my students why they thought I chose the word "dozen" as our word-of-the-week, DL said, "Cuz the egg prices are getting higher."
After Library today, RS told me, "I checked the book out that was made by God."
DL and RS were having a conversation about Santa and they asked me if he was real. I told them he is if you believe in your heart and DL said, "I believe in my heart, but I don't believe in Santa."
DL was looking in his folder and realized he forgot to take his Library book out at home and said, "The reason I usually lose stuff is our house is pretty big. Ya, it's pretty big for houses."
CA saw "Christopher Pop-In-Kins" sitting on my desk this morning for the first time and he told one of his friends, "I know his name, but I'm not gonna tell ya today...maybe tomorrow."
This morning LG was telling me how her family was looking through pictures last night of when her and her siblings were younger and in one of them her sister was eating some paper from her 1st birthday present. When LG asked her Mom why she was doing that, she said her Mom said, "A little fibron is good for you."
When RV realized that Christopher Pop-In-Kins was in a new spot this morning, she said, "I think he's happy and he's jumping around everyday."
During lunch today, one of the teachers asked RF what he was eating and he said, "I think it's ham, but at my house we call it pig because it's made from pig's skin."
This morning RF had to take his sister's folder up to her teacher and when he came back down he said, "When I went up to Mr. Snyder's room, you know what, I just got starvers." (he meant a Starburst)
JL came up to my desk during Calendar and said, "I'm not sure if I can raise my hand, cuz I'm just soooo itchy."
Today one of the children said that Mrs. Gacke had a long name and LG said, "So does my Mom, but I just get used to it."
This morning RF said to me, "You look like a robber because you're wearing all black today."
Today out at recess, I heard AD "playing school" with MM and DW and she was pretending to read the playground rules sign. She said, "No eating the leaves, please. No playing on the red swing, please. No standing by the door, please."
At rest time today, MD came up to my desk and said, "When my Mom cooks, you know what? The alarm just goes off."
This afternoon we were talking about black history and Martin Luther King, Jr. and MM came up later and said, "Well, my brother's kind of brown and I still play with him."
AS came up to my desk during Freeplay and was telling me about his toy he brought in the sharing bag and how it worked, when he said, "That's what it said on the constructions." (he meant instructions)
At the end of the day today, JL was struggling to get his sleeve inside his coat and said, "My coat is not trusting me today."
At Freeplay I noticed that AD was squeezing her nose and squinting her face so I asked her if she was okay and she said, "I don't like the bless you cuz it splatters all over my face."
