Students Say the Darndest Things- Volume 6

I am blessed to write another funny post in dedication to the many funny kiddos I come across each day- YOU make my job worth it a million times over!

[See previous Students Say the Darndest Things here- Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5]

 Setting the Stage:

• As a student was gathering all of their books to exit the classroom to transition to math class, she stated “so many books, so little time!”
• A student was showing me their mood necklace and explained what each color meant. Then she said,  “This should be illegal. It just does whatever it wants.”
• When a bus didn’t arrive on time, a student commented “Our bus driver can’t stand us so she doesn’t follow the schedule.”
• During read-aloud the kids were very out of it and tired. I happened to make a comment about their non responsiveness, and a student replied “I think we all need some coffee to wake up!”
• When learning how to use loom bands I said “this is so hard” and a student responded “that’s because you’re old.”
• When students were huddled together talking, the hallway behavior monitor said: “What is this? A party over here? I don’t think so!” [I am pretty sure they picked that one up from me!]
  

Conversations:

• S: Did you know bad people take off door knobs on people’s houses and then sell them at the pawn shop?

         T: How do you know that?

         S: I saw it on I-Witness News

• S: You like Anna!

          S: We do not have a relationship. There is NO future.

• S to the T: You lost your patience? Are you a doctor or something? It’s not good to lose your patients.
• S to the T: You’re lucky with your light hair. My dark hair is so hot out here. I’m like dieing.
• S: Someone told me I have bad breath.

S: Yea I don’t like people talking bad about my friends.

S to the T: Don’t worry we took care of it.
