...as Art Linkletter said 'kids say the darndest things.'
One of my favorite parts of working with children is laughing at the things they say and do. They are so funny!

They say the cutest things! These had me laughing as usual!
These are always so funny! Hummus is such old news!
Ahhh- the tuba - too funny!!!!
So, very cute. Makes me think about teaching the younger crowd. I teach high school kids who are in the system and I can't print what they say but I do learn some interesting things.
Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend.

I am sure that all the dogs that did not eat the homework are glad the true culprits - the cats - have been found!
Aww, kids say the best things, don't they :) Thanks for hosting Tamar.
These are some of the posts that make me laugh. Your kids are great!
