TMI

Kid: Ms. X I ate too much of my Mom's too delicious food and now my tummy hurts.
Me: Ok do you need to go to the bathroom?
Kid: No I don't have diarrhea, I did before but I don't now. My Dad gets diarrhea
all the time from my Mom's too delicious food.
Me:...do you want to get a sip of water?
Kid: That sounds reasonable.
Me: Ok why don't you go ahead and do that then.

OMG

(While learning about long and short e, we have gone from me giving examples to the kids giving their own)

Kid: Pet
Me: Long e or short e?
Kid: Long a
Me: We are talking about the letter E and pet has an E in it not an A.
Kid: No it doesn't.
Me: Excuse me?
Kid: It's an A.
Me: Pet is spelled with an E.
Kid: But...
Me : We are not having a discussion about this, it has a short e in it. End of story.  
      Who can give me another example?
Kid 2: Tebow
Me: What?
Kid 2: Tebow
Me: Like Tim Tebow?
Kid 2: Yes
Me: ....long or short?
Kid 2: Long
Me: Good I think we are done for today...

Samurai # 3

Kid: Ms. X my Tiger Spirit is getting stronger, tigers are dangerous and beautiful.

My day involved cleaning poop off a chair and the following quotes...

Me: Did you have an accident?
Kid: No
Me: What's on the back of your pants?
Kid: I don't know, what's that smell?
Me: I think it's what's on your pants, what do you think?
Kid: Could be


Me: What could we use to measure the table?
Kid: That stick with the lines on it.

Me: Can you use the word star in a sentence?
Kid: That star
Me: That's not a sentence.
Kid: Behold that star!
