Kids Say the Darndest Things

On Monday I went and had my haircut. Not just a little bit removed, but a lot - oh, about seven inches!!! Earlier in the day I at school (work school) the kids in one of my groups had asked if they could write paragraphs and they were coming up with their ideas of what they would write. I explained that if we had time I would let them but in the meantime they had to do their DOL. I then said, "Well, maybe if you write a paragraph you can write about how I should cut my hair." Instantly, after I said that, they started drawing pictures of what my hair should look like. Apparently, they thought my the hair on the top of my head should be cone shaped and then, well basically that was the tip of the triangle and the back was the bottom of the triangle. I know, NICE!!! THAT is not what I ended up with or looking like.
(Sorry, I have not taken a picture of it yet - maybe sometime soon)
So, yesterday I get to school and of course they notice it is cut. One girl asks why I did it and is just staring at me wide eyed. (These kids are either fourth or fifth graders by the way)
The next girl says that I look panicked with my haircut - interesting way to describe a person.
The next girl says that I look like a Hot Sexy Mama!!! - I like this description!
The boy sitting next to her says, "I agree with what she says." Pointing to this little girl. Oh, and my little girl that said I looked panicked did not sway from her panic description of me.
I had to laugh at their descriptions of me!

Today, I was sitting in with another group of kids, second graders today. Well, one little girl told another girl that they need to learn and know how to read. She continued to say that they need to know how to read really good.
I agree with her and then she says that they need to know how to read really good and go to college when they are older and then they can chew gum!
So I guess that once you go to college you have the privilege to chew gum whenever you want.

I love kids! They say such funny stuff!
