Things Kids Said on A Wednesday!

School is in session and this group is a talkative one! This only means one thing. . .  Things Kids Said on a Wednesday is back!

Where to begin. . .


One of my kids this year is a Spanish speaker and is in the process of learning English. He said a very long sentence in Spanish (very happily) and I said, " I don't know". A little annoyed, he repeated his sentence. I speak almost no Spanish, but I did recognize the word 'mochila' (which I was pretty sure meant 'backpack'). I asked "mochila?" and he said "si!" and said another long sentence that I didn't understand. I told him I didn't know again and told him to show me. Instead, he crossed his arms, rolled his eyes, sighed, and walked away. A little while later, he came back and tired again. I still didn't get it. This time he screamed and sat on the floor. After school, I asked his aunt and she figured out that he wanted some M&Ms from his backpack (I was on the right track!). . . which I wouldn't have let him have anyway.


"Teacher! I'm back! I saw you yesterday!" - said by a kid as he walked into school to get dropped off. Yep, little one, I'll see you Monday through Thursday until summer :)



"My mom wrote you a note. It's in my packpack." Ok, can you get it out for me? As he handed it to me, he said "It says I got stung by a bee three times!" Woah- are you okay? "Uh- huh. It hurt but then mommy crushed it."


A little girl was looking at my school id and said "I wish your hair was exactly like it is in your picture."



One little guy was talking and rolling on the floor while I was giving the class directions. I asked him if he heard what I said. He responded, "Yes. You said 'Use your listening ears'." That's definitely not what I said, but it is what I want you to do!


During snack time, a boy asked if he could get the brownies from his backpack. I asked him if the brownies were just for him or if there were enough for the whole class. He said that they could be for the whole class but we have to cut them up very, very, very small. What a sweet kid! I told him to save his brownies for after school.
