"Miss, I'm not a mammal...I don't have a hump".
A Year 2 boy (age 6-7) said this to me in a lesson about living things and the differences between plants and animals. I was explaining how humans were part of the mammal group...and I think you can guess the rest ! :-)

My three year olds last year
Boy: Me and my mommy are going to have babies.
Girl: You can't have a baby, only girls can.
Boy: But I told my mommy I am a girl so I can have a baby too.
Girl: (throws hands down onto table) YOU CAN'T HAVE A BABY, YOU DONT HAVE A UTERUS OR A VAGINA

Boy (to his mother that afternoon, as I'm trying to explain what happened to her) Mommy, for my birthday can I have a uterus?

There is no way for me to pick just one thing. From being told I need a man in my life to help me with the outdoor stuff to hearing that the tooth fairy lives in Canada it's all priceless. I finally spawned off my normal blog to do one just based on the things the kids say

Don't put your sticky thing in your mouth. 2 8th grade boys. Took 15 minutes to stop the laughing.

"Miss, I can bark like a dog really good...woof woof!" Then he preceded to kneel and bark.

Bear in mind this was also in the middle of and RE lesson discussing Moses. Very random haha!

 

Another was a 6 year old who, when learning about how to programe directions into a robot said:

" Now you press the erection button."

I was getting observed at this point as it was during my teacher training days, even the observer had to cover her face. I managd to keep my composure quite well lol!!

"Is it now?" ... a favorite student with autism asks this a bit. How do you answer that? I suppose it is now... isn't it always?
