Students Say the Darndest Things- Volume 7

Spring Break was refreshing for all of us, wasn’t it? Apparently it was very relaxing for the kiddos, as they came back as humorous as ever. Generally it takes a few weeks to a month to collect funny comments for the next post in this series; but not this time! In ONE day I had an entire post written!! (Yes, I spent the day laughing hysterically!)

[Check out the previous posts in this series- Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 3, Vol 4, Vol 5, Vol 6]
