I was in a 2nd grade classroom recently and had the following comical conversation with two of the boys:
Boy 1: “Say this 2 times fast: two”
Me: “two two”
Boy 1: <laughing hysterically >
Me: “Do you know what a tutu is?”
Boy 1: “Yeah, it’s the dress that dance girls wear.”
Me: “Yes. Ballerinas wear tutus.”
Boy 2:”And the dance boys wear skinny jeans!”
Boy 1: “Yeah, I’m wearing skinny jeans today just like those dance boys!”
Boy 2: “I’m wearing skinny jeans too! I could be a dance boy in these pants.”
I was in an elementary school nurse’s office the other day. A tiny girl standing against the wall accidentally scooted under the automatic hand sanitizer dispenser… yup. The machine squirted foam on her head! A little white dollop of foam on her cute little red head. I was trying SO hard not to crack up laughing!!!
