I love my hometown. Don't get me wrong. I REALLY, REALLY do. But, I feel like somebody has pulled a Dorothy on me here. It is so ridiculously HOT this week. I feel like if I'm breaking out in a sweat just walking from my car into the theatre, it's too hot. I'm just glad I have a job that's inside! I don't know how landscapers and whoever else works outside in Greenville is handling it! Anyways, enough complaining... today I'd like to share some of my favorite things I've heard (or have been told) that students said this summer:
1. "I was on a cruise this weekend and I think I saw Justin Bieber on the Disney Cruise next to my boat. He said on the Disney Channel that he was going to go on a surprise cruise, so I think that I saw him, and the old guy who made him famous." Old guy = Usher. I almost DIED laughing.
2. Teacher: Tell me 6 things about presidents.
Student: Abraham Lincoln, George Washington.... um, I don't know anything else.
Teacher: How about our current president?
Student: Uhhhhh.....
Teacher: Obam...
Student: Obamlincoln!!!!
3. Male student: I'm not allowed to eat lunch this week.
Me: Why can't you eat?
Student: I'm a dancer and I have a recital. So I have to skip lunch.
4. I took a 4 year old boy in Pirate Camp to the "potty" and this is what happened.
Me: Are you almost done in there?
Student: Yeah. (opens door with his pants down) Wanna see my underwear??? They are really cool. They have penguins on them.
Me: Oh, nice. Those are cool penguins.
Student: I know. They are from Madagascar.
Later that week. Same boy had to go "potty" during class
Student: (Opens door with pants already pulled up, buttoned and zipped) Wanna see my underwear??? They have penguins again!
Me: Oh, no thanks. Just tell me what they look like buddy.
Student: No!!! I really want you to see them!!! (proceeds to pull down his pants and show me)
4 year olds have no shame.
5. "I have these chips in my lunch and they are lime flavored. They are so good....(bites down on a chip) Ouch! I got lime juice in my eye! It hurts so bad!"
These are just a few. I'm sure there will be more to come in the future :)
Love,
