Snippets

Ah, the funny things my kids say. Here are some of my recent favorites:

* G. went up to a fellow teacher the other day and asked her "Where do you put Mother Earth?" She was at a loss for words and asked, "What?" G. opened up his hand to reveal a pill bug and again asked, "Where do you put Mother Earth?"

* Unfortunately, do to the recent Pussycat Dolls t.v. show, many of my kids have been walking around singing "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me." Disturbing. It's particularly wrong when you catch a six-year-old boy singing it under his breath during math time.

* Before snack time I give the kids each a squirt of hand sanitizer. But they have a little trouble pronouncing "hand sanitizer" and have recently taken to calling it "hamitizer." As in, "You forgot to give me some hamitizer!" It sounds so funny, like some pork sanitation product.
