Spilling Family Secrets!

The 1st grade teacher at the school called me last week because her father had passed away, & she asked me if I would take her class all week. I did, & I think I spent most of the week laughing my buckets off! Kids tell family secrets. Funny things... & they don't even realize they are being funny!
There was this one little guy that I'll call "L". L sat by me & stuck his pencil into my armpit & asked if he could see in there. I laughed & asked "why?" & he said he wanted to see if I had short little hairs growing in my armpit like his mother has. Hee hee. L also told me that he likes to make "armpit farts" & asked if I can do it. I told him that I used to be able to when I was younger but I can't do it anymore. He nodded his head, like he understood something that I honestly didn't get, then he told me that his big sister used to be able to make armpit farts, too, before she started wearing a bra! I decided that this kid could sit by me anytime, cause he kept me in a good mood when all these other little grubby kids were tattling or picking their nose... When it was time to have the kids write their own sentences using the word, "mom", L's sentence went something like this, "My mom says hell." I started laughing so hard, wondering if this sentence was allowed at school, when L came walking up to me and said, "My mom also says S-H-*$@! That night after school, I was talking to L's mom, and I told her the funny stories. He was absent the next day. I wonder if she was just worried about what he'd tell me next! Hee hee!

I just love kids. I was so mad when that TV show "Kids Say the Darnest Things" went off the air, what quality entertainment. Britnee told me the other day to please quit saying the "h" word, so I just wonder what my poor kids' teachers hear about me.

My 1st grader is the same way. I hear all of the time from her teacher at church things like, "So we were having a lesson about keeping the Sabbath day holy and McKay told me that you guys go out to dinner on Sunday sometimes." Crap! Hey, maybe I'll get released from the Primary Presidency, if I'm lucky. :)

That's so funny! Those blasted kids.... Jaden's first grade teacher came up to me once and said, "Jaden told me that you eat like a horse!" The devil!

So hows subbing going? I hated it to peices some days so I decided I'm not doing THAT anymore. I'm such a wuss.

Unfortunately, MY kids do this to our Home Teachers IN FRONT OF US! I had to start giving the little "DO NOT say anything personal" speech to him before the appt. But, apparantly he doesn't know what "personal" means since he'd go at it again (so I had to resort to discreetly pinching & punching him when his mouth opens!)
But, I TRY to get info out of other kids - call me awful, but I have an "inquiring mind!"

Suz's comments crack me up! What a funny story, Gup! I know when I was in primary, I heard all sorts of stuff. And Alyssa was the worst! One time she came in to sleep with us after a nightmare, and ended up rolling off the bed. When I picked her up, she said, "I want daddy! You're mean! Then she told daddy, "Mommy punched me and pushed me off the bed!" That was a Sunday morning, and she told EVERYBODY at church that...

Tony & Guppie, I was cruizin' some of our freinds blog sites and came upon yours. What a cool surprise. Randy and Cassie Skinner were in an adoption class that Heather and I were in about a year ago. I am so thrilled to find your cool site through looking at the Skinners. We have some pictures of our little spit-fire on our blog if you get some time. KOBY

So funny! It sure makes me worry about what Em is saying about me at school...eek. I know once Karissa told someone I say bad words all the time... and I don't! So I was trying to figure out what she was talking about, and it was the word 'crap'. I agree, bring back the 'Kids Say the Darnest Things" show!

Miss you guys like crazy.. how was the Due West concert???

Love it! My nephew was taking a shower with his dad when he was about 2 1/2 or 3ish. He looked up at his dad and asked him, "When am I going to grow bobbies like you and mommy?" He He, I love the funny things kids say.
