Kids Say the Funniest Things!

Just the other night, my area of the country got its first heavy frost of the season. The following morning, I picked up my godson to take him to preschool as a favor to his parents. I always enjoy my time with my godson, but this particular morning was extra special. As I drove him to school, he suddenly asked me, “Where did all the frosting come from?” I had no idea what he was talking about. At first I thought he had found a treat packed in his lunchbox. Then I realized he was looking out the window and pointing to the cars parked alongside the road. As I came to that realization, he asked, “Who put the frosting on all the cars?” After chuckling for a few moments, I did my best to explain frost to a four-year-old. I’m not sure I succeeded, but at least he now knows it isn’t frosting on the cars.
I’m sure you’ve had moments with your students that caused you to chuckle too. Please share; I’d love to hear them! After all, the best medicine for anything is laughter. And when you interact with children, laughter is definitely the icing on the cake!

I am a specialized reading teacher and one day when I was working with one of my second grade groups I turned my back to get a dry erase marker for the next part of my lesson and 1 little boy was making noise in his seat, I of course, said “______, please sit still in your chair.” He immediately asked, “How did you know it was me making the noise?” To which I replied, “I have eyes in the back of my head!” A little girl said “No you don’t! You can’t have eyes in the back of your head!” The little boy replied “Yes you can, my mom does!” The funniest part was that he was dead serious. He truly believes that his mom has eyes in the back of her head.
Not too long ago, one of my three year old students came to me and told me he was a little chilly. He said it was really breezy in the classroom so he was feeling chilled. To which I told him “Goodness, I don’t know how you are cold because Ms. Kelley is wicked hot” He responded with “Oh let me feel Kell” placed his hand on me and then states “Oh thats what wicked hot feels like!” It was so cute how literally he took what I said.
One of my students was sitting at the art center
for quite some time working on a project. When he
looked up at me with a puzzled look and asked….Why is my foot buzzing? I looked under the table and realized he had been sitting on his foot the entire time. His foot had fallen asleep!
after completing a theme unit on penguins last january,i saw one of my 3 and a half year old students looking out the window at a neighbour*s roof where some cypriot crows had gathered.she was very excited and pointed to them saying…hey look mrs.mary the penguins are here visiting our school!
While playing with one of my 4 year old students who was being particularly silly I said to him, “you are such a comedian” without hesitation, and looking puzzled he said “I’m a lizard?” I said “No, not a Chameleon a comedian” Who would of guess he was good at word play as well as slapstick!!
Last week a group of my students was playing a math game that required them to roll a special die that had pictures of the heads and tails of various coins. After rolling the die, they had to find the coin that matched the picture on the die. I was checking a student at my desk when I heard my intervention specialist say “That’s not Jesus, that’s Abraham Lincoln!” One of the students had commented that they had just “rolled a Jesus!”
Earlier this week I read the book “Alphabatics” to my students as we prepared for a performance by the African Acrobats. In the book, the letters “acrobat” into something that begins with the letter sound. When we got to the M page, the M “acrobats” into a mustache. I asked the kids how many of their dads had a mustache and several raised their hands, including one little one who’s dad doesn’t have a mustache. When I looked at him a bit puzzled, he said, “Well, my grandma has a mustache.”
