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: 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:
Written in crayon on a picture of two stick figures with a rainbow over their heads:
My teacher is the love of my life. (AWWWW)
