My preschool class is composed of both English and Spanish speaking 4 year olds. Yesterday one of the English speakers came up to me and said “Why did the police shoot his dog?” Becoming a little worried I went up to the Spanish speaking child and heard him singing “Feliez Navidad”. I think there was a translation problem.

When my children were young we had a couple cassettes of “Psalty the Singing Songbook” for the car. While driving once, we were listening to one and the tape went…
Psalty: “When people make fun of you because you are Christian, you can either pretend that you aren’t a Christian, OR you can stand up for Jesus. Jimmy, are you going to stand up for Jesus?”
Jimmy: “I’ll stand up for Jesus.”
Psalty: “What about you Sarah, with you stand up for Jesus?”
Sarah: “Yes, I’ll stand up for Jesus too.”
It was at this point that I asked my daughter…
Me: “Well Stefanie, will you stand up for Jesus?”
Stefanie: Crying, hysterical, and tugging at her car seat “I c-c-can’t… I’m all buckled in!”

A couple nights ago my husband and I put up the decorations while our kids were sleeping. When my 2 year old woke up she walked around wide-eyed and said, “Mommy, it looks like Christmas… EVERYWHERE!”

When my son was 8 years old we were shopping together at Target. He had a box of M&M’s and I had to keep myself from cringing every time he dropped one, picked it up, and proceeded to eat it. It wasn’t until he spilled several M&M’s at the same time and was picking them all up that I said something…
Me: “Don’t you think that’s a little gross? Those have germs all over them now.”
Son: “Yeah… but you can’t really taste them.”
I had to look away so he didn’t see me laughing.

I was giving a spelling test to my 6th grade class. One of the words was intermittent. One child wrote:
Intermitten – inside of a mitten
I gave it to her because I was laughing so hard.

I was kidsitting for a 9 year old girl once. As I put her to bed one night, we were reading the book Bats on the Beach. When we got to the second page where two bats are flying to the beach with a picnic basket I asked…
Me: “What do you think is in the basket? Maybe food?”
Her: “Wine.”

My daughter’s Kindergarten teacher is Miss Riley. One night…
Daughter: “Mommy, I want you to read me a story before bedtime.”
Me: “Okay, go pick one out.”
She picks out her book, sits in my lap and I start reading her the story. I only get about 6 pages into it when my daughter asks…
Daughter: “How come you don’t taste the pages like Miss Riley does before she turns them?”
