“Mrs. Naron, you look JUST LIKE Mariah Carey!”

“Mrs. Naron, what is diarrhea?”

I picked Colton up from mothers one day this week (he is staying with mother and daddy now) and I always ask “what did you do today?” His sweet blue eyes got real big and he replys, “I saw a barmet!”
I said “you saw what?”
He says ” A barmet. It was black and in a tree.”
He and his papa had spotted a “varmint” in the edge of the woods and they had went to take a closer look.
The look on his face telling me about the “barmet” was priceless.

kid (3 years old): “Mrs. Deanna, I have a headache….in my throat.”
me: “Okay, so your throat hurts?”
same kid: “No, it’s just a headache…in my throat.”
me: “Alright, well just let me know when it starts hurting.”
(Apparently this kid has heard me TOO many times saying ‘I’ve got a headache’!)

One of my kids’ cats had kittens & he was telling me about his favorite kitten. He told me his name & I couldn’t tell if the kitten was a boy or girl so I asked him. This was his reply:
“Well, he’s half and half. His Daddy was a boy & his Mama was a girl.”
I laughed so hard I peed in my pants…no joke.

I saved a huge stack of papers from my students when I taught English in Mexico. Whenever I’m feeling blue I read their hilarious attempts at writing and it always cheers me up. Just one of the many reasons that teaching is so rewarding. Haha!
