My job working at the elementary after school program has ended for the summer.
It was a blast, but I'm really enjoying my break so far. I was doing something the other day and I was reminded of something that one of the kids said and it made me laugh out loud.
Yes, I was home by myself.
Anyway, I had to write down a few of the funny things that they have said that I can remember. I know there are more, and probably a ton that are more comical, but this is what I can remember for now. (I'm sorry if they are not funny to you, some of them you had to be there)
Kindergartner walking around holding her pink belt doubled over in her hand. "Hhmmm.... I feel like whoopin' somebody!" (I'm bending over my cooler, giving popsicles out to kids) I suddenly felt a sting on my backside and I turned around to see my used-to-be-innocent kindergartner standing there, holding her belt, smiling up at me.
"Mrs. Chelsie, can I hold your cardboard?" (clipboard)
teacher: "Hey, did I hear it's your birthday?"
2nd child: "It's your birthday? ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
Birthday child (very somberly): "Yes. It is serious."
"I want to play tiger-go-seek!!!" (hide-and-go-seek)
As I passed one of the kindergartners in the hallway he casually says, "Hey Ms. Chels-Chels."
"Look! I used some handzamatizer."
Some what?
"Ya know, hand-matizer stuff, cuz my hands were dirty."
During quiet time I turn on instrumental music. "Mrs.Chelsie! This music makes my finger hurt!"
"But Mrs. Chelsie, I didn't do it! My feet did!"
"Mrs. Chelsie, so-and-so hit me. Right on the face like this" (hits himself again to show me)
(I call over 2nd child) "Did you hit him?"
1st child: "Ya, he hit me hecka-hard!"
Me: "Did you hit him hecka-hard?"
(I really shouldn't encourage slang, but it was just too funny at the time)
2nd child: "Ya.... well.... I didn't hit him hecka-hecka-hard!!"
Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Boy: Uuhhh...... a Man.
Me: (to girl standing next to him) And what do you want to be when you grow up?
Girl: I'm going to go to college.
Boy: Oh ya? Well I'm going to go to High School!!
(Different boy and girl)
Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Boy: (with his finger on his lip in deep thought) Uuummmmm....... A transformer.
Girl: You can't be a transformer when you grow up!
Boy: Never mind...... I want to be a Ninja!
Girl: What's an inja? OH! Like a fire-inja?
As we were kneading dough the girls in my cooking group were talking about how to make pizza dough.
Girl 1: "Did you know that chefs use their whole arms to roll out the pizza dough? They even use their elbows!"
Girl 2: "EEWWWW!! What about elbow grease?"
They really keep me laughing and help me enjoy my job that much more!
