Another Kindergaten Cutie

Two little boys (caucasian - I must add - so you can really see the humor in the story) were playing and talking in their Kindergarten class. The following conversation was overheard,

Boy #1 - When I grow up I want to be Chinese.

Boy #2 - Why?

Boy #1 - So I can own a Chinese restaurant and eat the food anytime I want.

Boy #2 - You can't be Chinese when you grow up; you don't know how to speak Spanish!

Another cutie from Kindergarten

During grade card testing the other day, I was quizzing the children on the numbers 0 - 20. I would show them a flash card with a number on it and they were suppose to tell me what number was on the card.

I was testing one little boy and he got a little confused when I was showing him all of the number cards. As I revealed the card with the number "12" on it, he studied it intently and then said, "Oh, I know that one. It is second-teen!"

Bless his little heart!

So Much To Do, So Little Time

This Saturday is Kaylea's BIG birthday soiree. This isn't the friends' party; this is the family party. I am going to have between 25 and 30 people at my house to celebrate Kaylea turning the big 1-0. Yes, this is a HUGE deal - she is finally hitting double digits.

Anyway, if you know me, then you know that I don't have people over to my house unless it has been cleaned - T H O R O U G H L Y! That means baseboards wiped; windows cleaned; carpet spots treated; ceiling fans dusted; etc. You see, I don't want people to think I live like a pig (even though my house can get a little disheveled sometimes.) So, today is Tuesday and I am still trying to get the housework done so that I can finish putting out the Fall/Halloween decorations. Then there is the grocery shopping to do - and the cake to order (note to self: call Food City to order the cake) - and the food to prepare.

Oh, and did I mention that I subbed this afternoon. I knew I had all of this stuff to do and accepted a sub assignment anyway. I guess I am a gluten for punishment. Anyway, the items are going to check themselves off my list, so I guess I better go.

But before I log-off I am going to leave you with another funny from Kindergarten. I was asking a child to tell me his/her birthday (something they are suppose to know). The child knew it was in February, but couldn't remember the day. Trying to be helpful and give a hint, I said, "It is the day after Valentine's Day." Suddenly the child's eyes brighten and a huge smile appears and he/she says, "Really, it is AGAIN this year!?!"

School Funnies

I am truly loving my new job. I actually look forward to going in to work each day. The children are so sweet and innocent and they definitly keep me smiling. Here are just a few of the cuties:

1. A little girl told me, "I think my mom sent me to school in a dirty shirt. The color looks dirty, but it must be ok since mom let me wear it." (She had on a heather brown shirt - new and CLEAN!)

2. On fish nugget and hushpuppy day in the cafeteria a little girl informed me that she didn't like sushpuppies. Then a little boy told me that he eated all of his fishpuppies. :)

3. Finally, a note was sent to school from a parent that was wanting to know what lesson had been taught the day before. Her son came home and told her they had learned about "a frickin' elephant." (The class had talked about an "African elephant")

Go ahead, laugh!

So, do you understand why I love my job. I get to smile and laugh and spend time with the most amazing children every day. Life can't get much better than this!
