Oh Kids! I love their thinking

Yesterday I had the great opportunity to spend the afternoon with my sweet little Bee's Kindergarten class, even though she got emotionally upset and had a major meltdown because I was helping other students, enjoyable and entertaining it was.

Some of the things I over heard and saw:

"B (another b) has an orange in his pants."

Teacher just stops in the middle of her reading, almost with out a pause "put it in the trash, wash your hands." and goes on reading the story.


"S told L that she won't be her friend anymore."

Teacher "Well that isn't very nice now is it."


During a lesson on estimates, the teacher showed a paper with 10 coins on it. She asked the kids to guess or estimate how many are there. Several kids raised their hands. "10", "9" , "11" then she said "one more guess, L what do you think." Ummmm "how about 2"

"do you really think looking at this there are just two, this one we did before had five?"

L said "No but someone already guessed 9 which was my guess so I just threw two out there."



Then earlier that morning, Bee and I were up in my mom's bathroom getting ready for the day. I noticed that my mom had the same outfit out that she has worn all week. Well not the same clothes just the same kind of sweater and shirt just different colors. She said "do you think anyone will notice I have worn the same outfit this week?"

"I don't know, it is not like you are wearing the same thing just same style. Can you wear jeans?"

"No we can't wear jeans except on Friday."

Then Bee pipes in, I know cuz this conversation is so funny already, she says "I wish you and I were the same size, because I have the cutest brown pants with polka dots, that you could wear and that would look so cute with your sweater."

I just smiled. What a sweetie. Some days I wish I could put on her granamial pants and head out the door.
