I had to make a rule yesterday. The rule was that only Miss Fleta can be Beyoncé in the library. It was a controversial ruling, but in the end I think we're all better for it.

Remember when we were talking about the nonsense jokes that young kids like to make up? I got one for ya: "What did the milk say to the lunch tray?" "I don't know, what did the milk say to the lunch tray?" "I'm going to pour all over you!"

One of my first graders (i'm a student teacher) always wants to hold my hand in the hallway. Today as we were walking she burst out of the line and put her arm around my waist and said "I'm the boy and you're the girl."

A perspective from a somewhat older child: (very suddenly, as I'm walking by): Do you think there will ever be a Purge?: Umm, no. I think a Purge would create a lot more problems than it would solve.: Aw... I wish there was a Purge.

That's a cool kid probably! I haven't seen the movies, but I assume he has realized that the capitalist pigdogs must be disappeared. In other thread relevant news, my oldest nephew is getting kinda self-conscious about wanting to hang out in the sofa. Like if I'm sitting in the sofa and he notices, his eyes go a certain way and he walks over and sits next to me and leans up. Like his whole demeanor is "I'm not trying to cuddle or anything, I just wanted to sit here like this, all casual" It's so sweet probably won't last much longer though.

Where do people sit in the sofa as opposed to on the sofa? I find regional differences fascinating. Our Nephew is verbal but not intelligible. He does a really cute elephant noise, when you ask him what sound an elephant makes.

Beachcomber posted:Where do people sit in the sofa as opposed to on the sofa? I find regional differences fascinating. Interesting! I'm Danish so, but we say "i sofaen" - if you sat "på sofaen" you'd be on the back, like over everyone else like a bird or an idiot That reminds me of Spanish classmate I had when we were idk 10. He would say he'd go to the bathroom but in Danish it came out as going "into the toilet". Maybe it's not very funny but no doubt the idiomatic prepositions are the hardest part of any language

The German expression translates to "going onto the toilet". Technically accurate, but something's off.

Yeah. Danish is Germanic too & we say: "jeg ska på toilettet" = "imma go on the toilet" i think cause we sit on it? but, "jeg ska i toilettet" = "i gotta get into the toilet" very subtle

If you put your books in a tub full of water, the additional presence of poop is the least of your problems. If you have a bathtub full of poop, your library books are the least of your problems.

I brought my Switch in to work today to let my kids play Super Mario Odyssey, because they've been good. They've spent more time getting Kid Angry or Kid Upset over what clothes the previous kid put Mario in than the game.

I was informed at work today by one of my Union brothers that his eight year old regularly tells his mother things like "Union says, we gotta take a break" And "Sorry, Mama, Union says its time for dinner" Apparently in a gruff Boston/New York accent. (Kid is from Texas)
