Overheard

More TRUE stories from my great kindergartners!

Boy #1: My grandfather is a hunter. He shoots animals. He's dead. Because he already died.

Boy #2, (looking horrified, like he thought the animals had retaliated): Who shot him?

Little Boy: A kid got run over by a car at our bus stop this morning.

Me: Run OVER? (smashing one flat hand over my balled fist) Like THIS??? And no ambulance came?!?? Well, I think if someone got RUN OVER, then an ambulance would come!

Urchin from THIS post and THIS post (quickly lies down on the floor, arms and legs splayed): Yeah, was that kid like, "I'm good, dude, just LEAVE ME HERE!!"

Me: Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday, and here's what he looked like.

Boy: I thought Dr. Seuss was a CAT.

Me: No, a cat could not write books. Dr. Seuss wrote BOOKS about a cat, but he was a person.

Same Urchin from earlier stories: Is Dr. Seuss coming to our school?

Me: No, honey. For one thing, he's dead.

Urchin: Did he die like they do on 1000 Ways to Die? I saw one show where a man died because he had a hot dog down his pants. [Author's Note: OMG]

And finally, one big reason that I teach kindergarten:

My teacher is the love of my life. (AWWWW)
