Cait Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Overheard in Edinburgh. Small child points to a planter on a windowsill beside which two big blokes are having a quiet drink. "PANSIES" she shouted and the two men whipped their head up, one almost drowning in his pint. Adult "No darling, they are petunias" They walked on and the look on the men's faces was priceless. Obviously some sort of plant identification was going on, but it was one of those 'wish I'd had a camera' moments! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 One of my lovely little boys is always in the car park when I arrive (waiting to walk his big sister to school) - he always rushes over to me as soon as I appear......I'm slightly worried that i have made him as weather obsessed as me - we always end up discussing the weather conditions! :blink: Sooooo yesterday......he rushes over as usual Him: It's raining again Me: I know, I don't like getting wet, do you? Him: after thinking for a while.......Well, I do like a warm bath! How sweet is that?! :1b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 A little girl brought her bear in today, 'What's it called?' I asked her when she gave it to me to look at 'Suggs' she said and dashed off. I handed it to another member of staff to admire, and she too called out to the little girl "What did you say it's called?" 'Suggs' was the reply again. Thinking perhaps the parents were fans of 'Madness' we let it go and chatted to her on and off about Suggs, his lovely hat etc. At hometime Mum arrived and picked up all her things, 'Don't forget Suggs' one of the children shouted. 'Oh yes, don't forget Fudge' Mum said. Ah. ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsenuf Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 following on from the discussion in the SEN/inclussion section about a child who licks everything we have a child who eats everything, plastic/wood/glue/glitter/sand etc. recently when playing with the stickle bricks I was getting the children to do a treasure hunt "argh me hearties can you find me a learge yellow square for me treasure box arghhhhh"...that sort of thing Children would find the appropriate stickle brick.....as we played I got more complex with my pirate captain requests....If you have stickle bricks you will know that there is a small piece a bit like a triangle but the hypotenuse (Now theres a word for you!) is not straight but concave (curves in slightly). The child who found it picked it up and said "Is this a triangle?" I looked and said well it does look a bit like one but it looks like one someones taken a bite out of...at which point another child sighed and said in a big voice "I expect it was XXXXX!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narnia Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 we were talking aqbout dinosaurs yesterday............ and what they liked to eat. One child suggested 'people!! I suggested that people weren't around when the dinosaurs were, so maybe they had to find other things to eat instead?? what did they think?? Freddie piped up with, 'I KNOW they didn't eat people ( big pause)...........and they didn't eat people because people have EYEBALLS and eyeballs are horrible to eat!'..................I have to admit, at this point I virtually collapsed on the floor in a fit of giggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend said 'but you havent got a middle name', 'yes I have' her daughter replied, 'no, you havent' said mom, 'I have' shouted daughter, 'well what is it then?' asked mom 'Fur' she answered. Her name is Jennifer...Jenny Fur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseketeer Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A little girl said "I'm going to be 4 on my birthday", I replied "I'm going to be 44 on mine, and that's much older than you isn't it ?"......after some thought she replied "um yes you'll be going to heaven with my cat and my granny soon". :'( Think the one that will always stay with me though from many years ago was when a boy ang girl were in the toilet: B was washing his hands, minding his own business and g still sat on loo out of the blue says "my mums got a fanny"' b turns to her and asks "you're mums got a funny what ?" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Oh mouse that did make me laugh and reminded me of one of our little girls who said to another when they were washing their babies "our baby came out of my mummy's fanny" the other little girl's face was an absolute picture - along the lines of a stunned salmon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Well last week - day 2. One of my new ones told me I couldn't be a 'real' teacher because I didn't run between inside and outside checking on all the different children all the time! And, I was just on the phone to my sister whose eldest starts school tomorrow. They had their home visit this afternoon and my sister says she's been anxious about it since she first heard about them. She made sure she hoovered this morning and then her next worry was what they (her and my nephew) were going to play. The time of the visit was when he'd usually be watching a bit of cbeebies for some down time but she really didn't want his new teacher to arrive and see him watching TV. So, no TV! She didn't want it to look as if she was a 'pushy parent' and sit him down with a book for when they arrived. The doorbell rings and she went to let his new teacher and TA in only to turn round and discover that the thing he'd chosen to get out was... the chess set! They did ask if he could play and she hastily explained that no, what he really liked was moving the pieces around and then 'bossing' whichever victim was playing with him! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I had one today who handed me a phone and asked me to call him.

Froglet Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 My classroom becomes the dinner hall every day and today I called one of the Y1s by name to warn him that running to get his tray wasn't a good plan. One of the other Y1s looked at me in awe and said "How do you know our names?" Ummm, well because you were all in my class last year?! The same child has on several occasions since term started said things like "I used to be in here" , "I used to sit on these baby chairs!" like he's telling me something new. Nice to know I had an impact! :huh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klc106 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 We gave one of our 3 year olds some lemon squash at snack time. He tasted it, looked up and said "this is genius! it's delicious. I like this fizzy lemon" (it wasn't fizzy!) but it did make us all laugh including the child 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 A couple for you... My nephew, age 4 started school in September. His school are evidently learning sounds at exactly the same time as I'm doing them with my class. He was up for the weekend to visit granny and in the middle of something said "That starts with 'nnnn' and did the action." I tried not to be too teachery but said if he knew 's' and did action, he nodded excitedly so I asked about and acted the other half dozen sounds I knew he'd have done. He nodded enthuasiastically at each one then said in awe "Aunty Helen, you're clever!" And today a little girl in my class... next I will be 5, then 6, then 7, then 8, then 9, then 10 and I'll be REALLY old! Couldn't help but agree with a smile. It was followed by one of the boys telling us his brother was 10 and that his sister was 14 and she was REALLY, REALLY old! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 My nephew is also 4 and has just started school, as I have, albeit as the teacher. He really didn't believe I could be a teacher until I called one day after school with my fob, pen drive and pen round my neck on a lanyard. Suddenly he smiled and told me I was a real teacher now because I had a teacher pen! Seems I have the same pen as his teacher so therefore I am a teacher - and I thought it was the PGCE I did!

Cait Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hehe! I was corrected today by a 3 year old. She was washing the glass florist pebbles after they'd been used in the playdough. She asked what she could use to dry them on, and I suggested one of the dark blue towels. "Actually,"she said, "you do know that colour is indigo, don't you? " 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Well these are the highlights of the Y1 trip to Blackpool Zoo. At the lion enclosure. the male lion decided to have a big hug with the female. Well once child said 'oh whats happening?' Adults 'oh just having a big cuddle'. Later on at lunch time.

Froglet Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Like so many others we've been rehearsing our nativity play. The wise men are doing their bit... "I bring gold", "I bring frankincense" and "I bring myrrh" when one of the camels adds "I bring...umm. flowers!" and my star starts bouncing around saying "I could give him starlight!" So sweet. What was funnier was that the 'additions' were far too quiet to be heard by anyone other than me so the other staff were then all wondering why I'm spluttering and desperately trying to contain my laughter! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
