The great thing about teaching children is all the funny stories I get to come home and tell my husband. There is one particularly hilarious little 4 year old girl that always manages to unintentionally make me laugh. For the sake of not exposing my little ones' identities to internet prowlers, I'll change the names. On Monday we gathered in a circle and I asked each dancer what they did over Spring break.
Amy: "I went with my fambly to Hawaii!"
Casey: "I went to Disneyland!"
Kaylee: "I went to my friend's house and we painted Easter eggs!"
..."and what did you do Stacy?"
"ummmmm....I went..I went to....I went with Kaylee to her friend's house and we painted.."
"NO YOU DIDN'T STACY you're lyyyyyyying!" -a very indignant Kaylee interupted. Stacy looked at me wide-eyed and mortified.
Yet she continued, "and we painted Easter..."
"STACY noooooo you didn't! She didn't Miss Aubrey!"
It was so strange how straight faced Stacy was that I wasn't sure who to believe!
S: "I went to... her friends houseandwepaintedEastereggs!!"
"STACY no you didn't you're lyyyyyyying!"
S looked around the room and apparently changed her mind.
S: "I went to Hawaii with Amy!"
Amy lunged forward "NO YOU DIDN'T STACY you're lyyyyyying!"
S: "I....I went to Disneyland! With Casey!"
"NO YOU DIDN"T STACY you're lyyyyying!"
S: "YES I DID!"
"NO you DIDN'T! You did NOT go with me!"
Upon this, Stacy gave up, and we moved on.
Apparently Stacy didn't do anything for Spring Break.
Gotta love it! I miss the things my students would say. Once, I had a kid tell me he swallowed he almost died when he was born from swallowing his umbilical cord...
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I'm just going to have to share this with the kiddos again to show off your fabulous "writing small" skills. But they are most likely Stacey's themselves. They aren't orange county enough to go to Disney, Hawaii, etc. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest/saddest thing I have ever heard.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. I never grow tired of the "stories" that my Kindergarteners come up with. I especially like the ones that they tell adults that aren't regularly in my room, so they adults don't know any better. It's amazing what some kids will say and that they adults will believe them! I just have to chuckle to myself.
ReplyDeleteOh my word - that is hysterical!!! I actually prep my children before going back to school to remind them of the somewhat neat thing we did over spring break - you know, just so they dont forget ;}
