Things Kids Said on a Thursday

"Where's your baby?" - said as a little guy pushes all over my belly



I gave each kid one thin mint as part of their snack today. They freaked out. I mean, I know thin mints are delicious and exciting, but getting a cookie with some goldfish crackers was like the best thing that ever happened :)



Boy commenting on the yellow hallway outside our classroom:  "How come the walls are still yellow? When will they be blue, like our classroom?"  Oh they will be (very bright) yellow for a long time.



Kid: "Can you come to my birthday party? It's going to be at monkey joes!"
Me: "Your birthday was in September- are you having a birthday party now?"
Kid: "No. I will when it's my birthday!"
Me: "Sounds good- if you invite me, I will come."



"Ms. McElwee! It's almost April. Your baby is going to come  so soon."
I know kid, I know!



Boy 1: "Ms. McElweee!! ________ said 'donkey fart'!"
Me: "Gross"
Boy 2: "Yeah. Gross. That's not polite, right MissElly?"
Me: "Right."



"I sprayed water all over the bathroom last night cuz I thought it was fun. My mom got mad and I had to lay in bed early. And I cut the fuzzy hair off a head. My mom got mad at that too."



After singing the days of the week song and pointing to the "Thursday" square-
Me: What day of the week is it?
Kid 1: January!!
Me: That's a month and we already had that one. Do you want to try again? Look where the arrow is pointing and think of our days of the week song.
Kid 2: 2015!!
Me: Hmm. . . that's a year and we already had that too. Now it's 2016. Any other ideas?
K 1: Oh! Oh! Saturday!
Me: You're close! Saturday is a day of the week, but it isn't our day today.
K 3: Guys. It's Thursday!



Me: "Just so you know, I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, so I probably won't see you until Tuesday. Ms. H will still be here and you'll have a sub."
Girl: "Are they going to to cut your baby out?!"
Me: "Nope- it's just a check up to see how she's growing."



"Ms. McElwee- I drew this owl for you but then I scirbble-scrabbled all over it cuz it's choice time and it's okay if we do scribble-scrabble work during choice time, right?"
