Kid Talk

I am blessed to be able to work with children.

(... and to raise one of my own!)

Here is a brief sampling of some of the thoughtful, truthful, and hilarious things I hear. 

I hope these quotes give you a smile.

After showing my class Landon's ultrasound picture:

"Don't worry, he'll come out in color!"

Mikah, age 9

While prompting a 2nd grade class to remember Henry Ford's first name:

Me: "Does anyone remember Mr. Ford's first name?"

Student: "Fiesta?"

Teaching drawing to 2nd graders:

Nahum: "How did you learn to draw so good?"

Areece: "... because she's an artist."

Nahum: "Oh. Do you have your own television show?!"
Now that would be cool!

Teaching drawing to Kindergarteners:

Me: "Who are all these people you drew?"

Max: "These are the good guys and these are the bad guys."

Me: "Who's going to win?"

Max: "The good guys always win."

First day of teaching Kindergarten:

Me: "Wow, Moses, I like your picture."

Moses: "Thanks. I'm trying to copy the works of Dali."

Me: "Uh, wow... like Salvidor Dali?!"

Moses: "Yes. I also like Pollack."

Overheard while teaching drawing to 3rd graders:
"I think of art as high quality entertainment.
Very high quality."
Ethan, age 8
