It's just the way things are ...
Phillip: Does your mum have any children?
Des: Yes, she's got me, but she shares me with Dad. ***** Tony: My mum is going to fat school. ***** Teacher: Is Sarah here?. Dan: She's not coming today because she's got the worms. ***** Teacher: You have worked like a real trooper today, Rob. Rob: What's a trooper? Teacher: Someone who works really hard and pulls their weight. Rob: But I'm not a weight lifter. ***** During a library lesson the librarian was showing the children the Reference section and asked what the R on the spine of these books stood for. Barry: They are the R rated books. ***** Tom was shivering with cold. Colin: Look. He's got bubbles all over. ***** Years ago I taught in Singapore and the children's first question of me was, "Where are you from?"
Me: Try to guess. Class: America? Malaysia? Me: I come from a place where there are kangaroos. Class: The zoo! ***** Also in Singapore in a different class ... Tammy: Why isn't your hair black like ours? Me: Because I am not from here. I come from Australia. Tammy: Well my aunt lives in Australia and her hair is still black. ***** |
A new sight word (we) was introduced to the Year One class.
Casey: But that's not the real way to spell WII. ***** Adam: My sister is very fond of babies, but I'm fond of good things to eat. ***** Nell: I'm going to marry Sam. Teacher: Does he know about this? Nell: No. It's going to be a surprise. ***** Principal: And this award is for someone who is always a good role model to her peers. Rob: (Looking puzzled) What? A good role model for her ears? ***** With an important school event coming up the teacher was stressing the importance of uniforms being well presented and the need for shoes to be polished. Teacher: Don't forget to make sure your shoes are nice and shiny. Steve: (with a very worried expression and obviously visions of Dorothy and The Wizard of Oz in his head)) But Miss, I don't have any sparkly shoes. ***** Yvonne: My hair used to be white you know. My mum didn't dye it.
Teacher: Why do you think it changed colour? Yvonne: It must have just wanted to dye itself. ***** Bert: Will you forget me in a hundred years. Teacher: Of course not. Bert: Knock, knock. Teacher: Who's there? Bert: See, you've forgotten me already. ***** |
