  • wild stuff kids say

    I took notes while the kids in Sunday School were sharing.  Because it was some wild stuff.  I’m not making any of this up.

    One girl told a long, involved story of how they were able to convince Santa to come to their house early so they could go away for Christmas.  I’m glad Santa was able to work flex time to accommodate their travel plans.

    Another girl got a polar bear for Christmas.  That was all the available information.  I hope their house is large and chilly.

    Another little girl reported on her brother’s gun.  Which he uses to shoot squirrels off the terrace.  Yup.

    A little boy gave an interpretive dance of his best gift.  I had to have him repeat it 3 times before I convinced him to stand still so I could understand.  He got a paper jam rock star guitar (I think) and “almost woke the whole neighborhood.”  This I know is an exaggeration as we live in the same neighborhood.  My comment prompted him to explain the physics (?) of how he was facing the wrong direction for the noise to reach my house.

    I really did take notes.

    Today my little hippy school kid told me the facts of how it is.  He hates school and will learn anything he needs to know by watching documentaries.  I work with 1st graders.  Just so you know.  He is currently driving me out of my tree.  I actually threatened to call the president if he didn’t finish the (stupid) math quiz.  It took him an entire hour to answer 6 questions, but I’m really glad I didn’t have to hit the speed dial on Obama.  Can you believe I actually threatened that?  Me neither.

    Little Loud One went to school as a ninja today.  Her wardrobe looked surprisingly similar to her usual outfits: mismatched stripes and a bandanna.  But she was a ninja.

    This is my report for the day.
