Kinder Kid Highlights

Teaching Kindergarten, I hear some pretty funny things. Some of the highlights recently:

*While talking about a student's fancy bracelet in front of the whole class-
Girl:"It's an Avatar bracelet...I got it at Mc Donald's."
Boy: "Hey! I ate there last night-I got diarrhea!"

*Same boy talking about Mc Donald's again a few weeks later-
"Mc Donald's will KILL you..."

*While talking about "crushes" on people-
Boy: "I have a crush on Anjelica."
Me: "Really? I had no idea." (Actually, it's pretty obvious.)
Boy: "Yep...and Zach's little sister Erin."
Me: "Wow! A younger woman? You know what's cool about that? If you and Erin got married, then you and Zach would be like brothers!"
Boy: (to Zach) "Hey bro!" (fist bump)
Me: "Just make sure you invite me to the wedding, OK?"
Boy: "I can't invite you to the wedding...you'll be DEAD by then!"

*And my personal favorite, some musings at mass-
Father: "How many of you have a pair of dirty socks-need to be washed, hole in one toe, balled up in the corner of your bedroom?"
(Many children raise their hand)
Father: "OK, let's say you're cleaning your room and you find this pair of socks-what would you do with them?"
(looking for an answer of "I would throw them in the wash," or "I would throw them in the garbage.")
Girl (I'm sorry to say) in my class: "I...would SMELL them!"
