Say What?

A parent once told me I should write a book with quotes from conversations I have with the children. 
A book?  No.  A blog post?  Sure!


Child (after starting the banana slicing work):  "What do I need to do next?  I forget."
Teacher:  "After serving your friends, you eat yourself."
Child:  "You mean...like...my skin?"


Teacher:  "Wow, that's a pretty bad cough you have there."
Child:  "No, it's ok, I'm not sick.  I just have a cough, sore throat, and a fever.  My mom told me to pretend I'm fine."


Teacher: "Why aren't you wearing your new hat? It's very cold outside today."
Child: "It's a hat that looks like a cat. I look absolutely ridiculous."
