Here’s a true story from my friend Aarti in China …
Today, when we were talking about how kids learn to spell, this woman was sharing her experience as a 2nd grade teacher.
Student: Teacher, how do you spell penis?
Teacher: (extremely shocked) Errrr….how do you intend to use this word?
Student: Well, I know how to spell the happy in happiness!
Ok, I’m claiming this as my personal space on shorki’s site….cause I can! Why kids are so awesome:
The teacher I work for just had a baby girl this weekend and we put up a poster that some of the students/teachers could sign. Here are some comments from some of the students:
“Dear Mr. Hall, congratulations! I hope you change her dipers.”
“Dear Mr. Hall, I hope you don’t forget to wake up at midnight to feed her milk.”
“Dear Mr. Hall, you had a baby!”
Errrr…..Yes, you gotta love ‘em!
And by the way, note to all…when you start dreaming of 200 pencils being sharpened….it’s a sign that you are too obssessed with work. I wonder what Freud would say about that one?
