Kid: I've been to Russia.
Me: No, honey, you probably haven't made it to Russia just yet.
Kid: I have!
Me: It's on the other side of the world...
Kid: Man, I THOUGHT that was a really long drive!

Earrings by Emily - how about my new caterpillars!?
My kind student now has her own website, too!

"Ms. G! Your leg just fell off!!"
(My pedometer had flown across the room.
Saddest part? I actually looked down to check on my leg!)

This crazy panoramic is of our CHOIR the
other morning! I think I counted a million kids,
give or take a few! What happy singers!

Me: Let's name all the animals that are gathered in herds.
Kid: Goats.
Me: Cows.
Kid: Sheep.
Me: Horses.
Kid: Parakeets.
(WHAT?!)

"Hi-ho the Rattlin' Bog... Now in this bog there was an egg..." I was hoping for more of the in-one-piece, not-split-open, lovely-round-type of Egg, but alas, this was the carnage the kids came up with! Lovely.

Kid: Oh, I forgot to tell you, I got my wart shaved this week!
Me: And...you...feel better?
Kid: Well, a part of me will be missing forever.

Me: Tell me about your clown.
Kid: Well, it's a clown with one eye.
Me: Just one?
Kid: Yeah! Just like you!
Me: Are you saying I'm a clown?
Kid: Well, I wasn't going to say that part out loud...
