Say what?

Things overheard so far this week that have made me smile…
“You always help a lady up off the ground.” Said by a first grader after a student ran into a teacher and knocked her down.
“There are better ways to communicate.  The growling will stop.”  Said by a teacher when two first graders both wanted the last swing available.
“Really, boogers probably aren’t protein.  I don’t care what your mother told you.” Said by a 3rd grader after a fellow student grossed out his table in the lunchroom.
“Come on!  Ms. Teacher just told us to sit on the ass fart.”  Said by a Kindergartener when they were getting ready for an activity outside and had to sit on the asphalt drive.

Oh, Beth, I loved the one that says, "The growling will stop"!!!
It made me think of a poem. I may have to write one called "The growling will stop"! Also am crazy about the sculpture your husband made, even if your nose is smaller and you aren't bolting your lips these days. It's very beautiful.

Boogers probably aren’t protein but they might be, we shouldn't rule that out.

Jan's comment has me smiling. Thanks, dear.

I think I should take notes at school. That might help me get through the dregs of winter.

Are we allowed to tell kids to sit on their ass farts? Because I will from now on....

And boogers AREN'T really protein. Ask Steam Me Up, Kid. She put them on her wall like all good kids should.

the ass fart tidbit reminds me of when my son first saw the stool softener commercial and was wondering where the stool was :D

Artsnark said...

too funny! Now why is it that the same kids that wont touch a green vegetable will eat green stuff from their nose?

Deb said...

that last one is hilarious, but "the growling will stop" has to be my favorite. it's applicable to a whole host of people (and pets) in my house. my new phrase.

Thank you for reminding me I cannot be a teacher. I've got a weak stomach!
