No children in the classroom today... an "in-service" day for the teachers, therefore nothing new to report.  But, I was thinking of some of the "best of" incidents that have flashed before my eyes over the past 5 years, wondering if I should write them down. One of the best things I ever heard a child say  (in the middle of the story of Moses) was... "Hey Ms Woach! My momma's a hottie!"  That took my attention off the basket in the river for a moment, and I had to ask "Do you know what that means?"... "no" says little mister.  "Where did you hear that?" says I... "my daddy says it".. "Do you know what that means?" .. I mean, inquiring minds want to know..."Nope" says little mister.  "It means your daddy thinks your momma is pretty"  Little mister just grins.  Next day he returns and informs me (once again in the middle of the Moses story).  I recall getting as far as the princess of Egypt looking into the basket this time.."my momma is still a hottie!!!  You can just ask my dad!!"  He was so proud of himself.  Dad did look a little sheepish when I reported the whole hottie history.  He grins a lot like his 3 yr old.  Personally, I think it's a good thing for a little guy to know his dad appreciates his momma. 
  Same little guy a few weeks later comes running into the classroom and says (all in one excited breath)..."hey, Ms Woach!!"...now imagine the text all in one sentence, without benefit of any breathing between phrases.."my mommy dwopped hew (her) keys in da potty at chic-a lay and she cewden (couldn't) get dem out so she called the chick-a- lay man into da potty but he couldn't get dem out eeder so she called my daddy to come to chic-a-lay and come onto da potty, but daddy cewden get dem out eeder even when he sick his awm way down into da potty.!" " He just had to go buy a new key!"   Little mister by now is blue in the face from vernacular exertion and takes a huge gulping breath..now is just standing there shaking his head sadly and nearly whispers... " my daddy was mad." End of story.   I am laughing and thinking to  myself... "good thing Mom is still a hottie".....
One of the few perks of my job is cheap entertainment.... lots of it.
