Kids Say...

Tales from the Teacher's Lounge

Bill Cosby would have so much to work with had he been working at my school.

Kids truly do say the darndest things...

"Can I go to the bathroom?  My stomach reeeally hurts."
Next time, just ask to go to the bathroom.  I don't need the deets.

"Why don't you have babies?"
Me: "I'm only 27 so I got to enjoy some of my 20s being just married first."
"You're getting old.  You better have them soon."
I almost want to ask if my parents paid them to say this.
But really, when did kids start thinking 27 was old?!
Or am I just old and that's why I think 27 is young now?

"That skirt makes your butt look bigger than normal."
Ouch.

"Miss, what's wrong with your face?  You don't look so good."
My response: Thanks, you look nice, too!

"If I asked you to go to prom with me, what would you say?"

"Miss, you're skinnier today."
I actually thanked the kid for that one.

"Are you pregnant or are you just getting fat?"
Just fat, thanks for asking.

The most recent:
(after I already received an apology letter from the girl)
"Miss, I am so sorry that I lied to you that day that we were in running club and I told you about my sister."
Me: When did you lie to me?
"You remember.  I told you about my sister not coming to school."
Me: (in my head: nope.) Oh, okay.
"I'm really sorry.  I didn't know you were a Christian woman.  I know that since you are a Christian woman, you would never tell a lie.  I truly didn't mean to hurt you heart like that."
Me: You're forgiven.  (Please, walk away)
"Really, miss, I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to make your heart cry."
Me: You're forgiven.  It's okay, really.
"Okay, do you forgive me, miss?"
Me: Yes (Yesssssss!!!!!!! a;dljfalskdfalsdhflakds)

Remind me why I chose middle school?
