They Make My Job Awesome..

I thought it would be funny to share some of the hilarious things that kids have said this year. They are precious! Several of my students see me because of lower level language skills and it is evident in their daily speech sometimes.

Little girl: Ms. Blankenship, Ms. Blankenship! My two T's dried off!!!
Me: What, honey?
Little girl: My two T's dried off!!!
Me: Huh? Say it one more time please.
Little girl: MY. TWO. T'S. DRIED. OFF!
Me: Oh okay sweetie, that's neat.
*(I still have no idea what she was talking about! Her teacher and I tried to figure it out but we have no clue. Soooo funny!)

Kindergarten boy: Do ladybugs give you skin cancer??

Kiddo: Ahh! Ms. Blankenship!
Me: Yes?
Kiddo: I HAVE TOES!!!
Me: Yes, I know. I do too. (dying laughing inside)
Kiddo: AND TOENAILS!!!
Me: Mmmhmmm. (containing my laughter and grabbing a pencil to write this down)

Me: (Pointing to a skeleton) What is this?
Little girl: Ummm...x-ray man.

*Some younger kids have had trouble saying/remembering my maiden name. This little girl had an especially hard time. This happened one day while playing Go Fish.
Me: It's your turn Brooksie.
Girl: Ok..umm, what's your name?
Me: Ms. Blankenship.
Girl: Okay, Ms. Blaffenshiff, do you have a nine?
Me: Nope, go fish.
(Go around the table, her turn again.)
Me: Your turn honey.
Girl: Ok..umm, what's your name again?
Me: Ms. Blankenship.
Girl: Oh yeah...okay...Ms. Goldenfish, do you have a three?
(Hahahahahahaha)

*At a park on a field trip, this little girl is talking to her teacher.
Little girl: Mrs. Weda, Mrs. Weda! Look over there!
Teacher: Yes, lots of trees!
Little girl: (Walks over to the tree and touches a cluster of berries)
Teacher: Do you know what we call these?
Little girl: (Still holding the berries in her hand) Yep! Mashed potatoes!!!
(Oh boy! We have lots of work to do! LOL)

Me: (Going through my desk, I pull out an oversized paper clip)
Girl: Oh! A tic-tac!
(LOL)

These kids keep me laughing and make my job so much fun and worth it! I will miss them so much over the summer!
