I love these!!! The kid who defined recess has wisdom beyond years. TRUTH! And I'm glad to hear your teaching has improved. :)
What a great little coffee table book you could make with these and your photos.
LOL. These always crack me up!
Always enjoy these so much! So funny!!! I loved the resolutionary war and the horcruxes one! Also I'm a New Yorker! ha!
How delightful. Some of them are too smart! It reminds me of some of the things my 7-year old grandson comes up with. He was talking about Fantasy Football to his dad, explaining that his choice was best because his Dad's choice for a quarterback wouldn't stand up to the defense on the other team. What?
Too much fun! Out of the mouths of babes!
lol. I love these posts!
Aww, sounds like fun :)
Vibrating with chuckles.
Sounds like a good name for a sitcom.
Oh wait. Maybe not.

lol! Witty bunch - I have no doubt they keep you on your toes. :)
hard to keep a straight face sometimes eh?
I always enjoy reading these!
Hmmmm, I'll have to try misbehaving the next time I'm in a long line in the post office. Just maybe they'll take me first. Probably not :(
Kids are great! :-) I wish you a great holiday time, take care!
