Kids say the funniest things! Um, yes. I
hear a million stories a day. I'm sure you do too. If parents knew everything
their kids say, they would just die. I think this is one of the reasons I just
love teaching kindergarten. Children are so innocent and honest. Oh, and BLUNT.
NO FILTER, for real. It's wonderful!

Speaking of filter, this
memory always makes me laugh. Most kids know the “bad
words” so I am not sure why I was surprised when one day a student said sh**, and then another student yelled across the
room…Mrs. Radke, so and so said sh**. So I ask them to come to me and not
say that word again, and the whole way to me, the student is still yelling..”but they really said sh** and my mom said sh** is a bad word and we should never say sh**”. OMG! I think that day I felt
like I was in the matrix, moving in slow motion (feeling like I was running on
top of the tables) to get to said child.

Then there are the children that tell you
that their parents fart, or get fired because they fell asleep at work (that
was about ten years ago). I also love a child's perception…not so much
reality going on there. “One time, when I was little and I was THREE,
my…” Haha!

Sooo, I was thinking. Our job is super tough.
We get bogged down in the not so funny things. Why not embrace the funny stuff?
I thought it would be fun to host a monthly linky party so everyone could get a good
laugh. *We are not laughing at our littles, just living life through their eyes.* How do you participate? Right click the blank image below and save it to
your computer. Then, open in in powerpoint and write in your text. Save it as a
jpeg and post it to your blog. You can have more than one funny. I mean really,
isn't this better than wine? Well, no comment. How about wine and giggles? YES!
Next link up will November 25th so write those hilarious things down and let us
all join in on the FUN! Make sure you link up your post!

Oh, and one more thing. I have NO idea how to post an audio clip. Google
totally failed me and didn't give me a good answer. Sadsville. Anywho, click on the pic below to grab the
audio clip of one of the “stories” I heard yesterday. 🙂 Feel free to
post quotes, pictures, and audio clips (if you figure that out, help a sister
out and tell me how).
Link up and share the LAUGHS! Love and virtual hugs!

Many, many years ago one of my kinder boys came running in and announced that his daddy had a new job. When I asked him what his dad was doing at his new job, he proudly informed me that "he be selling reefer". I almost lost it, but hastened to validate him and his news, and then tell him that we should not tell too many people about that new job!

I am a school librarian and one of our kinder teachers had to leave early because she wasn't feeling well. Her class came into the library that afternoon, and one little girl comes running up to me and says with eyes wide, "Did you hear what happened to Ms. R? She got sick and passed away!"

How about this…I was giving a FAIR test (state assessment) for vocabulary. The students had to look at the picture and tell me what it was. One picture had a picture of a necklace, a ring, a bracelet, and earrings. My prompt was Tell me one word for all of these items. My student looked at the picture and said "Ooh, that's what the policemen took away when they came into my house!" YIKES! I just flipped the picture and said "Okay, next…"

Our school has the handicap buttons on the all the main doors buildings … they have a picture of a wheelchair on them.. and the kids know they are not to 'push' the button… although some so.. one day on of my kinders says 'that's the button if you need a wheel chair'.. and I just said 'yes' .. assuming he meant when you are in a wheelchair…. his next comment was 'where does the wheelchair come out of…?" dead serious… lol

Writing prompt: "Tell about a time that you helped a friend." Response: "It was twelve o'clock." End of story.

At our school the policy is if you swear you have to call your parents and tell them what you have said. Teaching Kindergarten, a boy said 'sh&*!" So, I sent him to the office to call his parents. When he returned he was crying so I said "Who did you speak to?" He said "mum." I said "What did she say?" He said "She had the sh&*!s!" I decided to not send him back to call his mum again and just let that one slide!

One of my students walked into class and asked if we were doing Science. I said, "no, not today". She said, "Aw, too bad. When we were going through our Halloween box last night we found this dead mole" and she proceeds to pull out a gallon baggie with a dead mole. She said, "my mom said she didn't want it in the house and to take it to school for science". Thanks mom! I told her to put it in her bookbag and take it back to her house….not studying dead moles today. She also pointed out that his mouth was open (I didn't look…I trusted her) and said, "why was his mouth open? Do you think he was calling for his mom?" ….could be…..
