knowing your place
Ok, this one is SO much funnier if you know the kids because it is SO accurate but I will share it anyway. These children's names have been changed.
So there is this 3rd grade boy named Caleb. He is notoriously irritable and tends to verbally and physically lash out at people. There is a classmate of his, Jason, who he finds particularly annoying and fusses with him often. There is another child named Mallory who is often in the mix and is unanimously the school drama queen.
On this particular day, Caleb and Jason were at each other as usual. I walked over to diffuse the situation when I heard the following conversation:
Caleb- Jason, you are THE most annoying person in this whole class and you were the most annoying person in the class LAST year TOOOOO!!!
Jason- (infuriated) THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!! Mallory was number 1 and I was number 2!!!!!!!!
Caleb- (thoughtfully) yeah, that's true...
And then it was over.

retaining information
This one was a 5 year old after our Picasso study..
Me- "what is the name of the artist we talked about today?"
Child- "Lewis?"
Me- "nope it starts with a P"
Child- "Plewis??!"

the musical age gap
While playing with jump ropes, my 4th graders began to sing songs I've never heard. Figuring I'd throw in a song request, the following happened..
Me- "do y'all know any Celine Dion?"
Kid 1- "who's her?"
Kid 2- "she's just saying it wrong. Ms. Bennett, her name is pronounced Selena Gomez."

Following the advice of a friend, I am now blogging. Thanks to both my job as an elementary school teacher and my job as a full-time single mother to a 3 year old boy, I am exposed to the most hilarious and ridiculous of things that come from children. I shall use this forum as something of a diary, a collection of funny things I witness in my daily interaction with my adorable students and my own, personal tiny human who we shall call Porkchop.
