My office is based in an Elementary School. With this being said there are lots of funny things you hear kids say.
Today, as I was walking out of the restroom one of the PreK kids said, "Ms. Sandra, Ms. Sandra, So and So was looking under the door in the bathroom and saw my properties." "He saw your what?" "My properties!"
On another occasion I was using one of the stalls in the restroom. There is one designated just for adults. I see someone peaking in at me. Then she proceeds to try to talk to me, "Hey Ms. Sandra, blah blah blah." I tell her she needs to stop peaking in. This happens periodically since my office is on the PreK and Kindergarten hall. These kids know no boundaries. I hear some pretty interesting things in those restrooms.
Tuesday was Ginny's birthday and I called to wish her a happy birthday. I asked her how her day was going only to be informed that she wasn't having a happy birthday. What?!?!? Why? Aubree had broken her favorite necklace, her teacher had not been nice, etc. When talking to Ginny she loves to talk about boys, so I asked if there were any new cute boys in her class. She informed me that she can't have a boyfriend because she's not old enough. I told her I wasn't old enough either. She told me yes I was. I told her you had to be like 30 or something to have a boyfriend. She then sternly told me that her mother was married in her 20's and that I was in my 20's but getting close to my 30's. Where did that come from? She then proceeded to tell me that all I have to do is find a boy and tell them how I feel. I love how simple life is to a 7 year old. It is good advice though.
Seth says some really funny stuff on the way to and from school. One day I was taking both him and his friend Hayes home. They were talking about what is good and bad for your bodies (guess you can tell I have somewhat of an influence). They were talking about different drinks. Seth said alcohol is bad for you. Hayes said why, and Seth told him because it had too much sugar in it. They also said the reason skunks stink is because they eat stinky smelly green stuff. I love the logic behind this.
Also, one day last week I was at Michael and Amy's while they were having scripture and prayer. They were reading about how contention is of the devil. Then they talked about what this meant. Sydney was having an especially hard night that night and was throwing a fit in her room. Seth came out and told Michael that he felt bad for Sydney. Why? Because if she keeps acting like this she will have to live with the devil.

I love kids. I am really thinking about changing my major to elementary education! I would love to work with them all the time!
Ginny is the expert
