Students Say the Darndest Things- Volume 5

It’s that time again! What brings me the most joy at my job is my relationships with students. Often times, these relationships offer nuggets of humor that brighten my day. [Stop by to read Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, and Volume 4!]

Below is the latest compilation of my students’ humor:

• T: The character was making a contradiction when she said not to do one thing but went and did that very thing/ S: My mom does that!

• T: This bone is your hip bone [pointing to hip] / S: SHAKIRA SHAKIRA she shakes that bone

• T: You just cut in front of a lady / S: Who cares? Its time to go!

• S: I’m like a girl with all of this wind going through my hair [points to long hair on top of his head]

• I wrote a note to a child about him having a great personality. He came to my desk and replied: Sometimes I have too much personality. And to which I replied: Yes, yes you do.

• S: I just experienced something I have never experienced before- Alanah talks! [referencing a shy student]

• T: I want it so quiet I can hear a pin drop./ S: What about a pencil? [Students start dropping pencils in unison}

• S: 100 dollars was a lot of money back then. But today it’s like a dollar to most people

• S: My sister is a terrorist …her cuteness keeps her alive

• S: Today I get ungrounded FREEEEDOM!

• S: Did you know bad people take off door knobs on people’s houses and them sell them at the pawn shop?/ T: How do you know that? / S: I saw it on I-Witness News
