Today we swept the outside of the kindergarten for gravel. Two of the kids took some of the gravel, put it in a plastic bag and made themselves a gravel-baby.

Heard at the kindergarten today:
"Milk comes out of the cow's butt. It pees milk!"
One kid composed a little song about how it didn't want to play outside.
"Everyone got blood inside of them."
"....no..."
"Yes! I do and you do."
"..no! You're kidding with me!"

My kid's school recently had their annual standardized test and to get ready for that, they had a campaign that they were going to "rock the test" and come dressed as rock stars.

I told my daughter it's a shame I don't have all the silly stuff I wore in high school that they could wear, and sent her pictures of spiked bracelets, chain wallets, and studded leather belts to show her what I was talking about.

She said "You really used to wear this stuff? You used to be cool?"

Then she goes "I mean, your still cool but you used to be super cool." cause she's so sweet.

A couple years ago I worked with a non-verbal 3-year-old who was juuuust starting to get some words, yes/no kind of thing, the most basic of basics, we celebrated every single one obviously but that didn't make it any less hilarious when I was sitting with him and he reached out both hands with the full finger-wiggling grab at my chest and yelled "BOOBIES".

Literally the third word in his inventory. Used correctly. Great job, kiddo

Some recent quotes from my nephew (2.5yo)

In my parents yard & the friendly neighbor lady came over by the hedge to say hi, so my dad asked if he wanted to go visit. Nephew says "That's a pretty good idea. That doesn't sound half bad!" and beelines for the neighbor's

Another day he got a glass of milk & said "you know, I actually quite like milk."

NB: These are my bad attempts at translating his weirdly old-fashioned and detailed Danish to English, but I definitely didn't talk all fancy like that when I was 2.5 lol

One poster was working as an English teacher in... I forget what country, but they printed out various comic strips with the dialogue removed so the students could write their own in. One student had Calvin on the phone referencing The Ring with the titular phrase.

E: Found it. It's the last one in the link.

I sent my kids some pictures from my bike ride including one where I'm gross and sweaty and exhausted back in the car. My daughter texts me back "what's the matter with you in the last one?" I go "Girl, I was beat!" and she goes "oh no! someone beat you up while you were riding your bike? did you call the police?"

Had a talk with my slightly autistic kid yesterday about how third grade is starting soon, and the topic of his old kindergarten came up.

Him: "I miss kindergarten so much."
Me: "Aww, you do?"
Him: "Yeah, I'm sad it burned down or whatever."
Me: "Wait what?"
Him: "Yeah, it's gone, that's why I had to go to school, didn't I?"
Me: "Um, NO? When kids are little they go to kindergarten and when they get older they go to school. That's how it works for every child. It's not gone, the building is still there!"
Him: :aaaaa: "Aaah, OK! I didn't know that!"

Apparently he understood something wrong two years back. Maybe he took a phrasing like "kindergarten is over" to mean "the kindergarten is gone", and he's never brought it up since, just carried it around with him.
You could literally see a burden getting lifted off his soul. :unsmith:

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
Just saw a video of my four-year-old niece walking to school in the rain. Filmed from behind, very cute, pink boots, umbrella. And a few seconds in she turns around and says with absolute cold fury, "Mummy, we should have brought the car." And then spins on her tiny heel and stalks onward.

All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

My mom and sister were talking about her lovely ex-husband with my niece who's 5. Her and my nephew see him every other weekend and such. He walked out on them when she was 2 weeks old for a bit and they didn't work out visitation stuff until she was like 2 or 3.

Niece: Dad's no fun, he doesn't play with dolls or anything, just video games.

Mom: Well you love your dad, right?

Niece: Yeah, but only one percent.

Mom: Well how much do you love me?

Niece: I love you 300 percent, grandma!

Sister: How much do you love me?

Niece: 100 percent!

Sister: ...I love you too

I got to hang out for a while with a kid I taught 3 years ago, he's about to turn 7 and he hasn't changed a bit.

He told me this amazing story about "we went on holiday to the Isle of Wight - my grandma kindly rented us a beach house. My daddy used to go there when he was little. And it turns out that the beach house that we went to? It was the same beach house that my daddy used to stay in!"

He said it all with such gravitas, and this deep excitement about this incredible coincidence :3:

I asked him if he remembered coming to play at the preschool when he was little, and he said yes, so I asked him if anything was different to how he remembered. He furrowed his brow and said "well, there are a lot more toys out here than I expected."

He finished up our conversation with "my mummy is in the last year of her thirties. Because she turns 40 in December." Mummy definitely appreciated that, great job kiddo.

One of the 6 year olds at school today had a stomach ache and was complaining how he couldn't pass motion, but had been trying the whole morning before he arrived at school.

So he decided to try his luck when his class went to the washroom, and he was in the stall for such a long time, that I kept checking on him, asking him if he was ok.

Kid: No, my poo isn't coming out.

On my third check:

Me: You ok kiddo?
Kid: I can poo! But now my butt won't stop!

:lol: That is like, a really good description of diarrhea.

There's this 2 year old at school who can converse really really well. His grammar and vocab are great too. And maybe because of the above he's really good at pretending (He gets a playful tone to his voice when he's pretending, which is how I can tell). And it's lead to so many gems from him.

  • He used to bring a tiny stuffed tiger to school with him, and one day he switched it out for a tiny dinosaur.

    "How come you brought a dino to school today?" I ask.

    "Baby tiger is sick Ms mania. So he stay at home."


  • When he stopped bringing soft toys to school, I would occasionally ask him how his tiger and dino were doing.

    "They sick Ms maina, so cannot come to school."

    "Oh dear! How come baby tiger and baby dino are sick?"

    "They vomit! While sleeping! They vomit all over the floor then I have to mop the floor all night!"


  • When his mom was in her last trimester, anytime he would eat/drink a lot and get a belly he would tell us he had a baby inside his stomach.

    After a weekend, he reported to us that his dad ate all his (the kid's) m&ms and now "daddy got baby". (I asked the kid how much candy dad ate. "5".)

    Anyway, one day he had multiple servings of apples and of course he had developed a baby. I teased him, and told him he had an apple baby, which amused him loads. "So funny Ms mania". And after that, whenever his tummy got big he would announce to the world that "I got baby water (or whatever) inside".


  • So now that his baby sibling is here, his latest thing is to get diaperless during changing time and tell the teachers there that "I got surgery on my stomach. So now I cannot squat down." while gesturing at his unblemished tummy.

    And he'll followup with "I got special cream, must rub everyday." (Great job telling us what type of delivery your mom had kiddo haha).

    Anyway, the class is getting ready to eat lunch and kiddo wanders up to his english teacher, holding his mask asking for help with his mask. (SOP is for kids to keep their mask in a hanging wall organiser.) The teacher's busy dealing with something, so I tell kiddo that I'll help him.

    I take his mask and walk to the wall organiser, figuring someone else must have put their mask in the kid's spot. Nada, there's nothing in there. Weird but whatever, there's a bit of a school crisis going on, just gonna bend down and keep his mask and move on.

    And then I hear this little voice behind me saying "I got surgery, so I cannot squat..."

    OMG KID.
