What Kindergarten Kids Say.........

Monday morning- not my favorite morning. Time to get back into school mode. Getting to school was not a problem today- and we were early! I walked into the classroom to a chorus of "Hi, Nils!" This was normal. Then I heard a little girl's voice:
"Melody, have you been married before?"
"No, " I said, as I tried to make sure Nils was going to his table and not running across the room to the video shelf.
"Well, then, get married!" She spoke it in frustration, and I just looked at her for a moment before turning to Nils to help him with his coat and backpack. It was soon forgotten as other kids arrived, but it was such a bizarre question from out of nowhere..........
I guess I'll have to make sure to let her know if I ever do get married.

Other recent quotables:

We were watching Fievel Goes West one day and had come to the scene where the little mice Indians capture Tiger the cat. From across the room I heard a girl say,
"Look. It's the Canadians."


Math class. The teacher was explaining vertical vs. horizontal. She asked if anyone knew what the "horizon" was. One of the boys raised his hand.
"It's a kind of phone, " he responded.
