My second graders were working on cutting out a shape man so they could practice positioning the human body for a cut paper collage. I was walking around… singing a song… no, not really, but I was walking around, helping the students and eavesdropping on their conversations, which is always a great idea…
Male Student: “Girls have babies.”Female Student 1: “But they get special medicine.”Male Student: “They still suffer.”Female Student 2: “Some of them suffer.”
And later, at a different table…
Male Student: “Mine doesn’t even look like a hip. It looks like a nip.”Female Student: “What’s a nip?”Male Student: “I don’t know, but I’m calling it a nip.”
I die.

I love the funny things kids say. I still have a box full of the funny things my kids said when they were little. I used to scribble them on napkins and whatever was handy, hence the box. I'm now collecting my grandkids funny things

One of the best things is listening to kids talk to each other while they work. I have heard the best stuff.
