I took some kids from the kindergarten to an art gallery and turns out they weren't terribly used to look at so many naked people at once. I really do wonder how it feels like going around, looking at fine art and suddenly hearing a kid loudly exlaiming ""look at that man's pee-pee:byodame:"

4yo niece, on the couch:

:buddy: I'm wearing underwear!

Reclines and spreads knees while pulling up skirt of dress in the classic 'pingpong ball' position, and thumps her palm soundly a few times on the girl parts position with a very satisfied grin.

Same niece: Was playing around miscounting, when she pauses it and says

:o:'Now let's count properly.'

I love-hate it when kids get into their “I’m wearing underwear” phase. They’ll blurt it out first thing when they see you because they’re so proud about being big kids and it’s freakin adorable! But then they also want to show you their undies and suddenly there’s a kid pulling off their clothing and happily flashing everyone while I try to stop them and give them the “yes I’m proud of you and yes your underwear is cool but it’s also kind of a private thing and in school you should only undress in the bathroom” speech.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
Last night I was taking the kids and myself for corona testing. They'd been sent home from school due to possible flue symptoms and a coworker of mine had gotten a positive test after he got back from visiting family in Bosnia over the christmas.

Anyway once we got to the city I decided to fill up on gas because it was very low and after that one of the twins just vomited all over himself in the back seat... Had to get his winter clothes off and try and clean up the backseat as well as possible.

The other twin asked (in swedish) "What's that smell?"
I say (in swedish)"It's vomit!"
He exclaims (in english) "Smells like freedom!"

No corona test was taken that evening.

So the kids at the kindergarten are completely obsessed with this song:

It has gotten to the point where one of my colleagues are seriously considering a ban on playing the song. Luckily the kids have already found a new song to obsess over:

my son is about to be 9 months old, and isn't talking yet, but his incidental responses are sometimes amazing

Someone got us one of those talking toys where you can input the child's name, favorite food, etc for "interactive" activities.

Toy: Can you think of something... green?
Baby: *stares calmly*
Toy: I'm thinking of grass! Green! I like to play on the grass!
...
Baby: Okay

I teach in Japan (not just English, but an English-immersive curriculum) and today we were writing letters of thanks to a guest speaker we had, who came to teach us about the different systems of the body, and this is what one of my students managed to come up with:

"Dear Dr [name]

My name is [full name]. 9 years old. I like to read and draw. Do you like to read and draw? I am concerned about very small substances in my body. The inside of the body is very complicated. It is very complicated and I want to know more."

I love it. The combination of her own early stages grasp of English (she only joined our school last year with basically no English) and the bits that are clearly translated from online is just delightful to me.

Kids and language are such fun!

Was on vacation last week and one of the younger kiddos was telling us about his dad's OLD boat - old was definitely not okay.

Then he said his dad was getting a new boat, but when he brought it home the kid found out it was used, so "now we have TWO OLD BOATS!" He was absolutely appalled!

My 13mo has a handful of words now, one of which is "cheese" ("tzzzz").

A few days ago, he woke from a very long nap and hopped to the floor, grinning. "Tzzz," he said, pressing his hands together. He then ran into the kitchen, repeating "tzzzz. tzzzz" until he reached the refrigerator and began to smack on it, repeating "tzzz, tzzz, tzzz"

(I gave him some tzzz)
