Direct Correlation

Overheard...

Student 1: Why are you so short?
Student 2: Because I don't eat my vegetables.

Pretty Please

During dismissal I was walking some kids in the hallway and up the stairs. We got to the top and I stopped them for being so loud. A student dropped her paper and it fell from the top floor to the bottom one. A boy asked...

Boy: Can I go get that?
Me: No.
Boy: Can I please go get that?
Me: No.
Boy: I'll give you a treat!

Wow...guess he's heard that before.

Boxing up your Children

Since Mrs. X is expecting a baby we were talking about things a baby needs...

Student A: Milk!
Student B: Diapers!
Student C: A CRATE!!

Ummm...hopefully he meant crib or else I might need to call child services.

Dream a little Dream

While talking about daylight savings time, I told the kids that we would be getting an extra hour of sleep, which prompted this...

"YES! I finally get to finish my dream!"

Grown

Overheard...

Student A: I am big enough that I could go up to the doors by myself last night. (It was Halloween)
Student B: I know, we grow up so fast.

Preach.
