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.

A polar bear, poor mom I wonder how she’s doing all the cleaning, and I complain about my lil ugly dog
I miss teaching to elementary kids, those are so cute even when they can get on your nerves. I’ve had high school kids for 2 years now and oh gosh they make me miss elementary school so bad. The Principal thinks I’m old enough now O.o lol
I wish my mother had let me go to school as a ninja one day. :-
I hear ninja activity is on the rise in elementary schools. Perhaps you could broach this with Obama the next time hippie kid refuses to do math.
I see where the deception comes in. Santa heads home and they all become terrible liars. He still sees them!
@xXxlovelylollipop - i think i will have to ask for clarification on that one. i expect the mom will laugh about it. i adore the little ones, but this full moon is lasting too long. they are whacked.
ahhh…the things kids say.
@Cestovatelka - ah. there’s no stopping her. @distractedbyzombies - you are hilarious. if you hear laughter in the distance, it’s me.
@buddy71 - keeps me from taking myself too seriously, for sure.
@promisesunshine - Just thinking about how a polar bear could live in my house lol
@promisesunshine - only if you face towards my house.
@distractedbyzombies - at this point, i don’t think i need to be facing.
I love little kids
@firetyger - @xXxlovelylollipop - a polar bear would be quieter than the animals i’m raising.
I love little kids! I should have been a teacher. I love stuff like this! LOL!
yeah kids really do say a lot of interesting things
you said whacked.
LLO and her bandana. is it anything like the one in janis’ song? ;)
Aww, they’re just like husbands.Except, you know…different.
Hahahahaahaha… a ninja, huh ??
Too freakin’ cute. Kids crack me up.
@be_the_rain - the ninja one was new. i had to procure it from the basement with about 5 minutes notice. @roscoes_farm - her friend said she looked french. i thought there’d be blood. @raised_bywolves - like husbands? waiting on the punchline @ItsAll_A_LoveWar - uh huh @songoftheheart - i’ll take more notes so i can give regular reports @godfatherofgreenbay - sometimes it’s hard not to laugh.
Kids say the darndest things.
She said that she was going to be a ninja that day so that it would throw you off. In reality she’s a ninja every day. Always has been and will be. My friend Kevin’s one too. He told me that she comes to the secret ninja meetings. She just doesn’t want you to know.
@onestepcloserto_perfection - ah. thanks for the explanation. that one definitely gives me a run for my money.
