Friday Funny

Charlotte was about two weeks old when I called my mom and said, "Taking care of a baby is oddly similar to taking care of a drunk person. They constantly are drinking, they spit up all over themselves and poop and pee whenever."

Well, lo and behold, the internet world agrees with me.

#6, #7 and #18 are my favorites, what's yours?

Hope this brightens your day!

Helping Grandma

During a class discussion on how we can help our family out, one sweet friend says: 

"You can help your grandma get up the stairs...you know, like push her from behind."

Not exactly the type of help she might have wanted! 

She's gonna break a hip,

Surely y'all have seen this but just in case you haven't, it is my duty to introduce you to Neature Walk. Hilarity and so quotable. The perfect combination!

Animal Parts

When I was teaching in Texas, I had an adorable student whose mom had just had a baby. Fast forward a few months and we are learning about farm animals. The assignment was to choose a farm animal, choose a body part of that farm animal and tell me why it is important.

I was walking around the classroom helping and monitoring when I saw this sweetie's paper and, although I consider myself an expert at deciphering invented spelling, I didn't want to believe what I was reading. So I asked her to tell me about what she had written.

This is how the conversation went...

Me: So, tell me about what you chose!
Student : The pig.
Me: What part of the pig?
Student: Oh you know the (whispering) b....e.
Me: What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
Student: The part for the baby pigs, you know, the (whispering) b..b...e
Me: (Not willing to believe what I am hearing/reading) I'm sorry, sweetie, one more time.
Student: (As she cups her hands in front of her chest as though she is wearing a bra and she yells...) You know, the BOOBIE!

Here is her paper (pardon the horrible, in class, old iphone photo) and it clearly says, "So the milk comes out for the baby pigs."

Love my job!

During good things (every morning I ask my students to tell me something good), my sweet friend told me that this summer he is going to have a lemonade stand. This is how the conversation went...

Student: "This summer I am going to have a lemonade stand in my yard!"
Me: "Oh, great idea! How much will you charge?"
Student: "$2.99 a glass"
Me: (looking very surprised by the price) "Oh, wow..."
Student: "Well, unless you want a kid's cup, that's $1.85"

Quite the entrepreneur we have on our hands here!

I better start saving to visit his lemonade stand,

Simple Math

My students were giving animal presentations and one boy, while presenting his facts about a tarantula, said, "Tarantulas have eight legs but sometimes they can lose their legs."

I was attempting to prompt him about how they can lose their legs but they grow back and I asked, "Well, what happens if they lose a leg?"

His immediate response, "Well, then they have seven legs!" :)

Maybe I should have been a little more specific in my questioning...

It's simple math Mrs. Ellison!

Gotta love it,

Ethel the Owl

It was the first week of my first year of teaching and in order to nip tattling in the bud, I had placed a owl beanie baby on top of the white board named Ethel. Whenever a child had a tattle, they whispered it to Ethel and she flew down to my desk after school every night and told me what had happened that day.

They were so into it.

There was also a bathroom in this classroom and, the first few months, I used this bathroom, as well as the students, so I wasn't leaving them completely alone in the classroom.

So, it was about 30 minutes before the end of the school day (maybe the 4th or 5th day of school) and I really had to use the bathroom so I told them that I was going in here to the bathroom and to keep working because Ethel was watching. (Scary, huh?) The second I start using the bathroom (TMI?) I hear the office calling to my classroom over the loudspeaker and so I hurry and finish up and bust open the bathroom door to see my entire class dead silent, staring at the ceiling where the speaker was located. One sweet friend looks over to me, terrified, and says, "Ethel says that Brooke needs to go to the office."

It took everything in me not to start busting out laughing but I somehow held it together enough to say, "Ok Brooke, you heard Ethel, grab your backpack and head to the office."

It was silent the rest of the day.

Teaching is a lot like acting,

The Chimpantie Breed

After discussing Jane Goodall and chimpanzees in kindergarten this week, we did a journal entry about what we know about the topic. At the end of the writing time, we were sharing what we had written and one sweet friend says,

"Chimpanties make and use tools."

I wasn't sure if you all were aware of the rare breed of Chimpanzees called the Chimpantie!

Made me smile,
