"One" says the queen

Overheard a group of 6th grade boys on the way to the playground - "I think it's impossible to say the word "one" with a British accent". Needless to say, they tried for the remainder of recess.

How do they come up with this stuff? (You're trying it, aren't you?)

USS Princess

A group of first grade boys approached me. "Mrs. Y - the girls are trying to turn our battleship into a princess ship". Curious, since we were outside on the playground where there was no "ship" per se, I had to ask "is that a bad thing?" Their answer was a great reminder of the power of 6 year old imagination and made me smile.  "Have YOU ever tried to clear a battleship of everything pink?"

I guess my honest answer would be "No. No I haven't"

According to Webster...

A soccer playing 1st grader came off the wet,sloppy play field soaked from head to toe. His friend summed up what happened best, and in the process may have coined a new and fantastic word:

"He got puddled"

Whoop whoop

A kindergartner asked me if "whoop whoop Gangnam style" was a bad word. I so badly wanted to say yes.

"You will always be in my heart"

Defintiely not in it for the money

DEFINITELY in it for the kids

Will you marry me?

So apparently if YOUR game piece lands on the same space as SOMEONE ELSE's game piece, you're going to get married - at least if you're 5.

Who knew how easy it was to find a life partner?

Time for a walk

There is a kindergarten girl who loves to pretend she is a dog - so much so that she spends all her time at recess with me, telling me stories of the dog (today she was a German Shepherd named Hans) and asking me to throw balls for her to fetch.  I was a little concerned about her lack of social interaction and connection with her peers -  until today when I saw a class mate "walking" her. Really. It was a good thing :)

Hey!

There seems to be a direct correlation between a child's annoyance with another child and the number of syllables they add to "Hey!" (often, but not always followed by "that's not fair")

Today I heard an impressive 4 syllable "heyeyeyeye".
