Here are a few quotes from my wonderful (and wonderfully honest) students:
"My dad is a policeman! He's been fibbing to me. All these years I thought he was a mailman."
(About classwork) "Mrs. R, I just don't see the point."
"My shoes just don't want to stay on my feet."
(Upon running past home plate in kickball) "Touchdown!"
(During a game of sharks & minnows in P.E.) "Can I be a dolphin instead? A swimmy dolphin?"
(During a discussion of drugs during Drug Free Week) "Smoking is for old mans and old girls."
"I'm proud to live in our country, California!"
"I think the Indians and Christopher Columbus were best friends!"
"Mrs. R, your face is shimmering." (Hooray for good vocabulary!)
A little bit of this & a little bit of that ... these are the days of our lives.
