Hi Tamar,
Not even six AM and I am smiling deep inside. I love listening to kids. As you do!
:) :) m & jb
Hey, there's another early bird! It's 6:30 isn now, LOL. Good morning Tamar, I love learning what the kids say. Years ago there was a program "The Art Linkletter Show" that had a section called "Kids Say the Darnest Things". Sounds like you could write a book too.
Funny stuff. Kids are great!
Ha...love how they "sit"! ;)
Nothing better. ... or more honest than kids sayings. So good to put some of these sayings in to words to keep them for posterity, and who knows, maybe a book later.
What a great way to start my morning! Out of the mouths of babes ....:)
"my precious" Ba ha ha ha!
These are so funny ! Thanks for sharing!
hilarious. Zachary uses his tzistzis as floss too. lol.
What fun to listen to the banter of little kids in the classroom. Made my day.
kids do say the darndest things!
Hilarious! You must be tired when you come home keeping up with their wacky and wooly ideas and ways of thinking!
Man, times have changed. No way could a kid straddle and balance on a chair while silently reading or not.
I love those concepts that they do or work out.

Tonight I am going as something really scary! A DOCTOR! Mmmmwwwahhhhaaaaa
Keep these coming! I love them. These guys are just as clever as last year's bunch.
I love these...I got a slightly different version when I was an art teacher...the drawings told the stories!
love this! AND I love that you don't make your kiddos sit on their bottoms if they don't want too!!
