I also thought it would be fun to add the funny things I hear kids say throughout the day. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll have enough of these quotes saved up that I can write my own book.
I'm walking around the room and I pass a rather opinionated and blunt first-grader. He glances at the name tag hanging from my neck. He then grabs the tag and says, "Let me see that." Taking a long look at my picture which adorns the tag, he then looks up at me with a thoughtful expression. He takes a second look at the my name tag picture, looks up at me quickly, and says, "You look better in the picture."
This is a really funny one that happened during children's church one Sunday. To set the stage, we were having our welcoming activity in which the morning's Bible story is introduced. We were going to be learning about God's power. Therefore, the children were listing things that they thought were powerful.
Me: What are some things that are powerful? What do you think of when you hear the word "power"?
Kids: Hurricanes! Wind! Superheroes! Earthquakes!
I was impressed by their examples.
Me: Great! Those are awesome examples. Can you think of any more?
Kids: Wind energy! Mustangs! Water!
Andrew: Commas!
Me: I'm sorry. What did you say? Comets?
Andrew: No, commas!
Me (half-expecting the answer I received): And why would you say commas?
Andrew: Because, depending on where you put them in a sentence or if you use them at all...well...you can change the WHOLE meaning of a sentence!
What every teacher wants to hear!
