Friday Funnies

Ricky has been after me to start writing down some of the things my second graders say. Well, here goes. This week was the great debate over whether the Tooth Fairy was your mom or not. One little boy said his sister told him it was their mom, but he didn't believe her. Another little girl, quickly quited that rumor by saying, she had lost two teeth and put them under her pillow last night and THE Tooth Fairy left her a note and $2.00. She added that I know my mom's not the Tooth Fairy 'cause she's gone on a cruise this week with my dad! It never occured to her grandma...anyway...And those two teeth she lost, it was a boody battle in class the day before! It was bloodiest tooth removal I've been privy to, but she was desperate to get those two front teeth out once and for all! I kept sending her to the sink to rinse her mouth out, and when she finally pried one loose, she proudly announced it with a big huge bloody, and toothless smile!

Another one of my students was escorted to class yesterday morning because he had been telling everyone he was blind(he's new, 2nd day) and was bumping into walls(because his eyes were closed!). I asked him why he thought he was blind and he said that his mom told him he was before he left for school. I said, "Did you have trouble finding your shoes or your bookbag this morning? He answered, Yes. I responded with, "I see, and is that when mom said you were blind?" YEP! He also told me later that day that his mom wanted me to know that he was "ADHB", only teachers can appreciate that! (It should be ADHD!) I asked him what the "B" stood for and he said, "I guess, bad??" Lucky me!
