Fifteen eyes.

Thank goodness for MLK Jr. Day... three day weekend!!

I forgot to write a quote from a week or so ago that definitely needs documenting. It seems the most random funny stuff comes from students who aren't even in my class. They're in another second grade class... and they seem to always mention things that make me believe that they are listening in on my class and not their own. haha

Okay, readers, put on your imagination caps and imagine a really thick redneck accent, a really fair-skinned blonde boy with slightly protruding teeth... and you've got one of the funniest and sweetest boys ever in Ms. T's class. This is the same kid who at the very beginning of the year when the beetles were outside said "It's a HUMAN BEETLE!!"

"Yes, K?"
"Miss F, I just love your clothes! I can't remember what they're called though..."
"?? ... Oh, my capris??"
"Yes! I just love them! So good."
"Well, thank you, K. I appreciate that."
"You're welcome. [sagely nod]"

Another episode happened on Friday. K always raises his hand. Even when he's right in front of me. But when he raises that hand, I know he has something profound to say.

Turn your imagination caps onto the scene of Ms. T's class standing in line, waiting to return to their classroom. K shoots up his hand...

"Yes, K?"
"Miss F, these boys are saying not nice stuff about me. And I know!"
"??"
"I know because I've got big ears [[and yes, readers, he does]] and two eyes on the back of my head!"
[[Pardon this other interruption, but this is a clear case of "I've been listening to Miss F's class!"]]
"K, we must be twins! So do I! Fifteen of them!"
"[another sagely nod]"

Again, I live for these moments. I really hope one day when I'm a mother that I'll have hilarious kids like these. They really do make the world go 'round.

P.S. Here's a good news article on a study about personalities. I completely agree with it. I see it in my own students.
