Sometimes you need a kick in the pants to get writing again. Thanks Carrah for the pep talk today :) Here are some silly things kids have been saying lately, many of them dealing with the fact that I've been sick for the last week or so...
Student: Hey Miss Hannah, I know what can cure your illness.
Me: Oh yeah? Please share!
Student: You need to go to the temple. But first, you need to call the guys and ask them if you can come inside.
Me: What guys?
Student: The guys that live in the temples.
Me: Um, monks?
Student: Sure.
Me: Okay, how do I call the monks?
Student: Well, you could email them too. You hafta go inside and ask them a question and they will tell you what food to eat and then you will be cure!
Me: Huh. Wish someone would have told me that last week!
I'll let you know when I get in contact with the monks.
Student: I'm having a really bad day.
Me: What's going on? (COUGH COUGH) Do you want to talk about it (CHOKE, SNIFF, COUGH, GAG)
Student: Someone in my class made that thing that come when you eat food.
Me: Um, what? (COUGH COUGH, CHOKE CHOKE)
Student: You know that stuff that comes out of your body. Its not poop yet but that other stuff that comes out... you know... down there.
Me: Uhhhhh, farts?
Student: Yes! Someone in my class made the fart.
Me: (SNEEZE, COUGH, GAG, SIGH) So, how is that making your day bad? Is your class smelly?
Student: No someone in my class say it was ME who make the fart but I did not.
Me: (WHEEZE) Oh. Hm. Well, maybe you should tell them it was not you.
Student: Okay! (skips away)
Me: ...
Glad we had this talk.
Student: What's wrong with your voice?
Me: I have bronchitis. Its basically a bug that got into my nose and worked its way down to the areas that help me talk and breathe.
Student: Oh. When will it go away?
Me: Well, I started taking medicine for it that the doctor told me to take so hopefully it will go away soon!
Student: You shouldn't do that. The Vietnamese people tell you to take medicine so they can get the money. All you need to do is drink warm water.
Man, these kids have all the answers. Too bad I gave those Vietnamese people THREE DOLLARS for all my prescriptions. So greedy ;)
Me: (to class) Hi friends. I'm not feeling well today and my voice is very weak so I would really appreciate it if you could all help me out today. If I say something and you hear it but don't think someone else did, please tell me (COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH)
Class: (stares at me with shocked/scared faces)
Student: Um, Miss Hannah? You're coughing a lot.
Wow. Just... wow.
Me: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Student! Slow down! It's not a race. This is getting too messy for me to read.
Student: Oh, sorry. I guess I must have gone into Rampage Mode.
Me: (holds back laughter and manages to only smile) Rampage Mode, eh? Hm, well lets try to transfer into Cool and Calm Mode.
Student: (takes deep breath) Okay. Leaving Rampage Mode.
Where do they get this stuff?
