Funny Things Kids Say

I think I have the greatest job on earth. I get to spend every day rediscovering the world! These kids are amazing. They have such bright minds and loving hearts, and the way they look at things is a real joy. I get to guide them and enjoy the excitement of discovery as they learn things. Sometimes, without even intending it, they can be hysterical! I have learned some pretty funny things over time, and the kids seem to love looking for ways to make me laugh. I'll admit that I will occasionally be a little silly myself (who, me?), but these kids are too much fun not to enjoy!
Some of the most recent lessons I have learned...
1- If you give kids duct tape as part of a science project, they will hear the word duck and quack intermittently for the next ten minutes (and look so surprised when a "quack" involuntarily escapes from their lips...)
2- If you have kids that aren't paying attention when the bell rings to come in from recess, a) it is hard to whistle for them when you are laughing, and b) if you whistle for them like you do when you are herding cattle, it is imperative that you do not call, "Here, kids! Here, kids!" They will "moo" at you.
I actually have 12 little birthday cake posters in my room with the kids' birthdays written on the appropriate month. This has been the cause of wonder and amazement for my kids. A few days ago, they finally came up with an answer that satisfied them. The conversation went something like this...
Jacoby: How did you know my birthday was in December? How did you know the day?
Shawn: She's psychic!
Jacoby: (only 5 minutes previously had told me a veterinarian was someone who didn't like to eat meat) Yeah! That's it! She's psychotic!
How can you help but love that?!
