Overheard at Target from an adjacent toy aisle: "I wish you could catch Pokemon in Fortnight." in just the most plaintive tone.

This a weird feeling. I want to say "man, that makes me feel old" but... backwards? I've never played Fortnite, but Pokemon is one of those OG elementary school recess memories. Weird to feel that sense of connection to a random kid who's probably 30 years younger than you.

Just gave a middle school kid vaccines. Naturally he didn't want them and tried to delay it. He was going, "no wait, give me a second, just hold on, can you come back in a minute..." I kept trying to calm him down - he wasn't struggling or trying to get away, so I just didn't want him to flip out (or pass out). So I tell him here we go, one, two, three... He goes "No, no, No, NO... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Not a scream, literally just the sound ahhhhhhhh really loud as he's half-laughing.

One of my fifth-graders in Korea once wore a shirt emblazoned with I NEED A PRINCE IN THE STREETS AND A BEAST IN THE SHEETS. Um. Her classmate had one that said WHO THE gently caress ARE THE ROLLING STONES? but at least that's accurate; he did not know. Best one was a TEACHER at that school- with great English!- who bought and wore a denim jacket depicting the Virgin Mary surrounded by the words gently caress THIS WORLD. Not appropriate for primary school, but an apt enough thing for that character to say, given her situation. I would do anything for that jacket, by the way.

My five-year-old son's favorite pasttime is playing with his 50,000 cars. He also likes to incorporate "Bad Guys" into his play. That sets up the following conversation. Him: "Daddy, look at my Jeep!" Me: "Yes, I see it, Buddy! It's a very nice Jeep!" Him: "No, it's broken." Me: "Oh no! Well I hope the driver can fix it!" Him: (in a tone indicating that I have missed the most obvious thing in the world and his Daddy is the biggest moron to have ever lived) The driver is a bad guy. Bad guys don't fix Jeeps!"

How to appear innocent to adults when you're a kid: Do not immediately shout "I did nothing!" when you notice that another kid is approaching an adult while crying.

In the kid's defense, why wouldn't you assume that the biggest word must clearly be the most important one? lol

I mean, the answer to the first question is wrong as well: it's 0 dollars. Because that's a specimen, and no shop would accept it.

The question itself is meaningless "How much is this money" is complete nonsense, even if you rewrote it to be something approaching English grammar the answer could be anything, since it doesn't actually specify the metric in question. How much surface area does it have? Mass? It looks like it would have an r-value of about 0.5 if you crumpled it up, where's my points?

Last week a kid told me it would be really nice if I came with them when they moved up to second grade.  We still have 8 and a half months of first grade but thanks for the sentiment little buddy!

My brother had his girlfriend by to introduce to the family this weekend, and my sister's kid completely fell in love with her. Just immediately reached out and wanted to sit on her lap for hours. He's only 11 months, so he doesn't really speak, but he did poo poo a little on her arm lmao

I told a student today, "What's a cat's favorite color?" (shrugs) "Purrrr-ple." "Ohhhhh!" This proceeded to spread like wildfire around the classroom, to the point that during snack students were coming up to ME to tell me the joke. This led to their own "jokes", such as: "What's a mouse's favorite color?!"".... What?" "Magenta!""....?" "Get it? Mmmmm-mouse? Mmmmm-magenta?" So I decide to spring this one on them all "What's a dog's favorite part of a tree?" "THE BONE!"".... no" "THE TRUNK""No" "THE BONE""No" "THE BONE!""Trees don't have bones. Okay so remember jokes are usually funny because they make sense. What's... a dog's.... favorite part... of a tree." ....... ..... "the....BONE""The bark." *calm nodding, intellectual sighs*"That's ok, we'll work on jokes."

fast cars loose anus posted:*taking a child to the bathroom at work* Good lord. One of my students is way too open with me about his making GBS threads habits. "I need to go to the bathroom" "Okay, come back quickly." "MRS. BRAVO, I MIGHT NOT. I HAVE TO POOP AND IT TAKES LONGER." Later he returns and within minutes asks to go again. "But you just came back." "I'm really bad at wiping!!!"
