Kids say the darndest...

- A little girl comes up to me crying, "tell them to stop calling me assassin," as two little boys run after her chanting "assassin" in a sing-song voice. I think that it doesn't matter what you call kids, as long as you chant it in that voice.

-We were reading a story about a troll and a kid pipes up, "not the troll again! he reminds me of my dad: big, ugly, and hairy!"

-The same kid later on piped up when the we were explaining healthy and non healthy foods. The teacher explained that some foods will make you fatter than others, though some people were just naturally shaped a certain way. The boy says "I don't know which one my mom is, but she's huge."

-"I saw it first" said one boy
"I saw it before you" said another
"well I saw it a million years ago, before the dinosaurs"
"well I saw it before the world existed"
"I saw it before God existed!"
This then unleashed a theological conversation trying to figure out the Chronology of God. One kid seemed pretty settled on God coming first, then when he died, zeus came along.

- As we talked about mammals, we asked for examples of mammals that lived in the sea. One kid starts screaming "fock! fock! fock!" I am trying not to die laughing as I finally realize that he is trying to say "foca" which is seal in spanish.
