Some of the stuff our kids write and say is absolutely hilarious. I need to start carrying a notebook around to remember it all.

“She think the first sandwich is too sweet. Second sandwich is too bland. third sandwich is revelation.” – excerpt from a student’s book report

(A girl is practicing her annoying gum smacking techniques) *smack smack* “I’m American girl!” *looks at boy* “Do you have money?”

“I’ll be back! I’ll be back!” – what my little kids used to say to tell me that they knew the answer to the question and that I should call on them.

“I wish I were smart and kind. I will behave myself.” – excerpt from fellow teacher’s student’s book report. (for the record, the kid was lying.)
