Pin It Ok so Mrs. Bainbridge inspired me with this Linky Party. As I was blogging about what I say, I kept thinking of what the kid's have said to me. I really do try to keep a journal to write things down as they happen, BUT, we all know with our little ones we can't always do that. In the past 8 years these are what made me LOL...all day! 1. This was in my first few years of teaching. In the first few weeks when we are going OVER and OVER the rules I ask one of my students....."WHAT ARE THE RULES??? " & he responds...GET READY...."Don't drop the cocktails". Really? I thought I was literally going to PEE MY PANTS! I later revealed this little tidbit with the parent's & as I watched them turn 3 shades of red...we all giggled. 2. The next one is during my first year of teaching...I taught Kindergarten.

Umm Did I just say that out loud?
Mrs. Bainbridge is hosting her first linky party! I just did my first one a few weeks ago & I know how it is to sit & wait for emails to see if someone?...anyone?...joined my party..lol. This is a fun one but I really have to think...I usually stop myself from being too much of a smarta** but sometimes my sarcastic ways get the best of me...I wonder where I get that from...Mom?!?

I bet you have those students that go head first into the back of you when you're walking & their following you. They are always at my feet, behind me, in front of me, touching me, poking me....I know this will all start again in 5 short weeks...insert sigh... 2. Hellloooooooooo? Sometimes I add.....Is anyone home???? This for when I am getting no response..I just gave directions for the 5th time & I get a blank stare. It kills me when I hear them say … [Read more...] about Umm Did I just say that out loud?
