Boogers

So, I have this little cutie patootie at the Preschool. He came in one morning and said to me "My mom is just too cute". I laughed and said "Why, yes she is". He said "Yeah, she's a sweetie". Then one day this week he came up to me and said "Miss Shawnie when I go home my mommy is going to get all my boogers out of my nose". I had to send his mom a note about something else but, added this last line...I hear you're going to be getting all the boogers out of his nose when you get home....So, enjoy!

Makes me think of all the funny things I've heard over the years. Here are a few of my favorites:

The same little boy I was talking about above says he has to go "TT", instead of saying "pee" or "potty". It's not really funny, it just that my beloved Grandmom always said it and it's not a term you hear a lot.

Someones mommy always has a baby in their tummy...and they are always surprised to find out about it when I congratulate them.

I once had this little boy tell me that his mom and dad got into a really big fight, not wanting to go there with him on it, I said "well sometimes mommy and daddies get mad at each other just like you get mad at your friends". He said "oh no! they were really mad, yelling and everything!!" Really wanting to change the subject I said "well sometimes mommies and daddies argue, it's just part of being grown ups". He then said "well my dad was so mad he left the house, slammed the door and started walking down the street, and when my mom went to go get him in the van she told him he better get his @*%# in the car right now"!!!

Once a little girl was telling me she spent the whole weekend with her grandparents and I said "What on earth did your parents ever do without you all weekend??" She said "oh, my dad probably just walked around in his underwear all weekend"!

During our annual Ice Cream Party I was asking the friends if they were enjoying their ice cream, and if their favorite was chocolate or vanilla. A little girl raised her hand and said "my dad really likes ice cream, but when he eats it he gets really bad gas!"

This little girl came in one day and said "my dad taught me to spell". I said "he did, what did he teach you?" She said he taught me to spell F*A*R*T

Once during our Native American Theme I was sharing different pictures of Native Americans with them, and got to one of a Chief smoking a peace pipe, I mentioned that smoking is bad for you and that they should never, ever smoke. A little girl raised her hand and said "My dad smokes" and then I said "Well your dad is an adult and can do what he wants, but you never should because it really is bad for you". She then said "well my mom always gets mad at my dad because she says all he does is drink and smoke, drink and smoke"!

During Circle Time I talk about different things with the friends and they will raise their hand to comment back on it, or add to the discussion, most of the time it's to tell me something totally off the subject I'm on...like this one time when a little girl raised her hand to tell me that her mommy was going to the Dr. this week to get bigger boobies.

And, then there are the penis funnies....once this little boy was telling me that his baby brother had a penis just like him but, that his brothers was really little, and that his dad had one too, but his was REALLY BIG!

And, once during Circle Time this little boy kept pulling on his "penis" which is usually the universal sign for needing to go pee pee. So I asked "do you need to go potty"? He said no so, I continued. After a few more minutes I asked him again "do you need to go potty"? again he said no, so I then suggested that he leave his penis alone. So, I start another song and at the end I say in a firmer voice...I really think you need to go potty so, please get up and go...the little boy responds by saying "I really don't have to go Miss Shawnie, I just can't get my penis to lay down" ...."The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round, Round and Round All Through The Town...
