I have a book where I record funny things my students say. At the end of each year I update it and typically find myself cry laughing as I read through previous years. Here are my top 10.
10. “I bet Jesus and Miss K will be best friends in heaven.”
9. “Mickey Mouse should be rated ‘R’. He says ‘gosh’.”
8. Lockdown Drill-
“Well, if he was by the window and looked scary, you could just punch him in the face, Miss K.” Their confidence in me is overwhelming.
7. Spoken to the photographer as we’re posing for our class picture: “Tell me if I have a double chin.”

Runner up: “If I make a bad face, I have to pay my mom $30, because that’s what she paid for my pictures.”
6. Prayer time-
“Dear God, please help my baseball practice after school not to be, like, long....and hurtful.”
5. Student A: Miss K?....
Student A’s partner: No! Don’t ask her! She’s going to get so mad! She JUST went over this!”
4. Student A: Where did bad words come from?
Student B: A bunch of teenagers a long long time ago.
3. Me: I have a special place in my heart for Tootsie Rolls.
Student: Isn’t that special place supposed to be for Jesus?
2. Student A: Can we use markers?
Me: I would prefer crayons or colored pencils.
Student B: And what she prefers is going to happen, people!
1. Me: If you spill your soup on the carpet again today, I will not be a happy camper.
Student: Why are you always camping?
