April 4
A student told me today, "You have ALL the muscles!"

Another student decided that since we were subtracting from 11 and she only has 10 fingers, she'd use her tongue as 11.

A current Kindergartener had this conversation with me today:
"Miss Cunningham, are you gonna be the first grade teacher next year when we get to first grade?"
"I sure am!"
"YAY!"

I had this conversation with a student today:
"Why do you not have a husband?"
"God hasn't given me one yet."
"Well....are you gonna get one?"
"I hope so!"
"Maybe you'll have children, too."
"Maybe, but I have to have a husband first."
"Yeah...you get a husband...get married...have kids....get a house...and own room service."

From last week: After cleaning up bird poop on a picnic table for the umpteenth time, a student asked,
"Why do birds poop wherever they want?"
I said, "Because they aren't potty trained like we are," and he responded with, "It'd be cool if we could train them to go in the trash can."

"I just can't imagine Miss Cunningham being young..........(long pause)........like seven. I feel like I'm gonna be seven my entire life and be in first grade forever."
