Things Kids Say ...

Not a day goes by that we don't laugh at something - or things! - said by our students. Today we had two great examples.

• While reviewing the letter K, Mrs. Connie asked the children to give her some K words. They shared key, kite, and king, and Mrs. Connie was "coaching" them, trying to get them to say kitten. "It's not a big cat, but it's a little cat," she prodded. "What do you call a little cat?" Several of them stood up and screamed, "BABY CAT!"
• Mrs. Connie evidently didn't realize it was going to be so warm today - this morning she was dressed in a t-shirt with a long-sleeved shirt underneath. After running around with our kiddos all morning, she sat down to conduct morning circle time with them. "I have GOT to come out of these long sleeves," she said to Mrs. LeeAnne. "I'm so hot I'm dying." One of our little girls jumped up with a horrified look on her face and asked, "You're DYING?" We sometimes forget that three- and four-year-olds take things quite literally!
