Today I decided to try a "Naked" brand drink. It was the protein shake kind and it was cream colored and pretty thick. I took it out of my purse and started drinking it in class.

One of my students looked up and saw me drinking it and said, "Ew yucky Miss Amber! Why are you drinking lotion silly?"

And, to her defense it did look like I was drinking lotion. Ew!

ok here's one for ya (although i already told amber this one in person). kian was asking me where daddy's father's day present was and i told him that i hid it, to which he responded "you hit it? like with a bat?"

me: "no no, i didn't hit it, i HID it...like in a hiding place."

kian: "oh...you hit it like with your elbow?"

at which point i gave up trying to explain.

I was bending down to tie a boy's shoes in my class the other day and he was staring at me contently. I was singing "Jesus Loves Me". Naturally I thought that he was enjoying my song, as he was staring really hard now. As I was finishing up his left shoe he asks me "Missy Ambuh, why you got boobs?"

First Conversations of the Day

So . . . everyday when I walk into my classroom, one of my four year old pupils comes up to me and has some new way of saying "good morning".

The other day I walked into my room and he came up to me and said this as my good morning hello:

"Hi Miss Ambuh. You know what? You wemembah(remember), you, you wemembah the time my dad peed on somebody?"

No. No buddy I do not remember. But . . . I now know that your dad peed on somebody. I love you buddy.
