Working at the bottlo a woman came in with her kid who was prob about 3 years old. She bought a bottle of wine and went to leave and her kid piped up and said “hang on, we need to get some chips”. Just perfectly and casually delivered. It didn’t work though

I hope that kid keeps trying. The older the parent gets the more likely that is to work.

I just you to know that this made me happy.


My student wrote "FAT" on a picture of a middle-aged couple, then laughed like a loon.
ME: "Hmmm, I think you meant 'father?'" *writes -her after "fat"*
J: *hysterical laughter* "Nooooooo!" *Writes "So".* "SO FAT! SO FAT!"
ME: *crosses everything out until it says "sofa"* "How about this?"
J: "Okay, okay! He fat like SOFA!!!"


H has Asperger's and I was really worried about him doing all right in the class. He's a bit older than the other kids and sensitive to that fact. His mother describes his Asperger's as his "pequeña problemita" and I like her, but I don't like that. He is entirely like every other kid in class except that he behaves himself and occasionally needs to breakdance.

Anyways.

Today, H was lying on the floor with his sweatshirt over his face, moving his hands in big circles and making some kind of goat noise. When I asked him what he was doing, he very casually said, "I'm using my imagination!" :3:

Another kid, J, always needs attention (I have to teach holding his hand most of the time) so he of course started copying H.

H just stopped, lifted the shirt off his face, and looked at J. "Get your own brain," he said, then went to sit down.

One of mine discovered today, much to her delight, that if you yell SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET SHEET then your English teacher can't really tell at you, but all of the native Castellano speakers will laugh unto the point of death :facepalm:

That said, good job, M! I'm seriously not even mad. This is what I get for telling them I knew all the bad words in Spanish and Catalán.

Reminds me of the great hilarity back when I was in elementary school, that the phrase "I buy pink sheets" kinda sorta sounds like "ouch poop piss poo poo" in Swedish. The height of comedy in those days, truly.

more art from my daughter who'll be turning 7 next week. I got her to explain the picture to me.

On the right, you can see the sheep getting an x-ray, with the person next to it holding scissors trying to decide what cut of meat she wants. The bag in the middle the dude is rooting through is apparently wool that happens to be edible, and the cook right next to it is making wool burgers. The unfortunate person on the far left is a tailor who wanted to make clothes from the wool but the other people wanted to eat it instead so the appropriate course of action was to kick him in the junk

My friend's daughter B. started pre-school this year, and I guess now the teachers have signs that the kids hold up so the parent can take a picture for social media. Cut to B's first day of school Instagram picture. She's looking pleased as punch and holding a sign that says: "My name is B. When I grow up I want to be: pee-pee doctor"

My 5 year old did the gesture where you point two fingers at your eyes then point them at someone else. The one that means "I'm watching you". We've never done this gesture before so I guess he learned it at school. I asked him if he knew what that meant.
"It means I want to trade eyeballs with you!"

Last weekend, my daughter (6) told me she knows all of her sight words. "Lovely baby!" I proudly told her and she told me she could spell all of them and I could ask any and she would spell it for me. "Oh honey," I say, "you're mommy does homework with you so I don't know your sight words!" She replies, "Daddy, it is any small word like and, or the, or for. Any word that is easy to spell. Not hard words like onomatopoeia."

I teach first grade.
My top student is a really chill kid who is extremely responsible as well as easygoing. Just an extremely pleasant child to work with.

I'm making rounds while the kids are writing. I'm having a conversation with the kid next to him about whether he ever plays tricks on his dad.

Good Kid, interjecting: Oh my god! I have this plastic sword and every day when my dad comes home from work I poke him in the butt with the sword! Like really really hard, I poke him in the butt! Like in the buttcrack! I wait behind the door and wait until he comes in and then poke him in the buttcrack with the sword as hard as I can!

My nephew wrote another fairy tale.

Why you didn't get what you wanted for Christmas.

Every year Father Christmas reads all the what I want for Christmas letters. And then he call for all the little helpers to get all the things the children want. The helper who has been the best helper all year gets to choose a child letter first. And he chooses some letter who wants something boring like socks. Then the second bestest helper gets to choose one. And he chooses things like pencils for drawing stuff. And the next bestest helper chooses the children who like books. But when you want a good gift like a new Nintendo you have to wait for the helper who hasn't been good all year because all the good helpers are busy making socks. And the not good helpers are lazy so he doesn't get ready on time and that is why you shouldn't ask Father Christmas for the best gifts but ask you nice aunt instead.


(Sorry, buddy, I'm not getting you a Switch for Christmas. But I get the message, no socks)

My grandmother was a huge smoker, and when I was around 7 or so I asked her if she wanted to be around when I grew up. She quit right after that.

Me: So, Kelly has 167... what?
Her: Seashells.
Me: We did seashells last time. Let’s do small furry dogs.
Her: No!
Me: It’s more fun to think about 167 small furry dogs.
Her: I like seashells better.
Me: Really? Would you rather [her dog’s name] be a seashell?
Her: He couldn’t be. Seashells don’t have names.
Me: Anything can have a name if you give it one.
Her: No it can’t!
Me: *I point at my glass of water* This is named Frank now.
Her: Eww!
Me: You don't think it's a good name?
Her: It doesn't look like a Frank...

my dad LOVES telling this long rear end convoluted joke about like, a bird called the fu bird, and if it poops on your head it's good luck or something? and the punch line is "if the fu shits, wear it" and then he always explains "you know how they say 'if the shoe fits, wear it'? it's like that, but it's a spoonerism. fu shits, shoe fits. get it? it's a spoonerism. i love that joke"

My sister's child is now 22 months old and last night she wanted to do something unwise, like use the blender or something. My sister told her, "No, you're too little. Mummy will do it." The kiddo said crossly, "Baby ALWAYS too little."

Here she is today. I think she's telling Santa about what happened.
