I know we've had these threads before... but we are getting as restless as the kiddos and we need a laugh.
Share your best "Are you freaking kidding me, Kid?!?!" complaint (from anytime, I just notice they become more off the wall the closer we are to summer or another break)... and let's all remember that another adult (teacher) had to clear these kids to come see us first...)
My two best ones came from the same fifth grade student a couple days apart.
Student: My earlobes feel squishy
Me: ...ok. Did you hurt them in some way?
Student: Nope. Just feel squishy
Me: That's not really an issue. Head back to class.
Student: It feels like all my bones are turning to mush.
Me: Well, you walked in here ok, so I thing they'll be ok.
I've got a good one! Although, I'm sorry I missed it...I had my son at the orthodontist this morning (my secretary covers for me). A teacher sent a little kinder kiddo down for a temp check because, "She swallowed a fly." Haven't we all, at some point? Contrary to the popular nursery rhyme, I don't think she'll die.
I would have Rx'd she swallow a spider straight away!
