Things Kids Said on a Thursday

"Ms. McElwee. Did you know you're not supposed to drink beer with a baby in your belly?"  I did, but thanks for making sure I'm being safe!



girl 1: I wanna be Elsa
girl 2: Don't you already have her dress?
girl 1: Yeah, but I wanna be her.



When I was picking up one of my classes, a kid said, "Hi Ms. McElwee!" and then kissed my belly and said, "Hi baby!"



A girl in my morning class said, "We should name your baby today!" and then a burst of name suggestions came:  
-Luna
-Octagon
-Avery because my babysitter is named Avery and she's a girl
-Penelope
-Miss McElwee becuase you are Mrs. McElwee and your married to Mr. McElwee and your baby would be sad if she didn't match
-Sprinkles
-the letter "K"
-Emma because my neighbor had a baby and it was a girl and she named her Emma
Thanks for the ideas, but I think Mr. McElwee wants to help name the baby too. I'll tell him all of your ideas.



During calendar time: "Excuse me. Excuse me! Excuusssee meeeee!!!" I ignored the excuse mes- this kid is working on not blurting out during group times. Finally, he raised his hand. I called on him and he said, "Did you know that spiders can bite and the bites itch but worms can't bite you? I don't like spiders but I do like worms."



We were reading a book about living things vs. nonliving things and how living things need food, they can grow, and they can make more of their own kind. A girl raised her hand and said, "Is it true that is an animal lives inside your house it can't die?" Then we had about a 10 minute class conversation about dying- my hospice-social-working sister would be proud :)



"Ms. McElwee- I'm gonna ask my granny if I can come to your house this Saturday, okay?"   Maybe some day you can visit my house, but I live kind of far from school and I have lots of plans on Saturday, so ask your granny another time :)
