Out of the mouths of babes (kid quotes)

[Speedbag]

No, they bring him bacon instead of apples.

[The Bacon Junkie]

Do you give them bacon homework?

No, they bring him bacon instead of apples.

Close, actually!   

For a holiday gift, one of my families brought me an assortment of bacon chocolate and bacon novelty items, like bacon band-aids, bacon chapstick, baconaise, bacon salt...   

Okay, quote of the day from a three year old.  A few of them were putting together a giant floor puzzle of the planets.  One of them had finished the part with Saturn on it. 

I asked him, "Do you know what planet that is?"   

He said, "Saturn.  Saturn has rings."

Me:  "That's right!"  Not bad for a three year old, ya know?

Here's the part that blew me away....

Him:  "Those are the rings..."  (pointing to them)  "The rings are... they're made out of,  out of...  something.  They're made out of ice!  ...and dust"   

I was impressed... I didn't even know that! 

I love my job, even when people can't wrap their brains around the concept of a male preschool teacher.     When I first started at the school, I had Security called on me a couple of times because someone reported  "A large bald man near the kids."  Okay, I'm only like 5'8".  I used to be a gymnast, so I'm not tiny, but I'm not huge either...  I teach a very exclusive school in SoCal.  I had to get fingerprinted, security background checks through 3 separate agencies, and to get anywhere on campus, you have to swipe your badge at every entry/exit point, plus a security desk at both main entrances.  Nobody gets in unless they're supposed to be there.

Close minded people who stereotype or immediately jump to conclusions bug me.  It's like me finding out you're a lawyer and asking how many ambulances did you chase today, or people have you screwed over.

Because I'm their teacher. 



And, for the record, 3-4 year olds are preschool age. The toddler stage is between infancy and two-ish.  They are no longer toddlers at age 3 and up.   

well, good to know your name isn't "Aqualung"

Being a Speech-Language Pathologist, I hear kid's artic errors all the time. 

A couple years ago in TX, a preschooler came to class for a Halloween party..

Student: "Mr. "Iz", did you know it's Nigga-ween?!" 

He then proceeds to sing his "nigga-ween" song to every student, teacher and parent in the classroom.

I was trying not to laugh.  All I could think about was Eddie Murphy's "ice cream" song as I'm watching the kid dance around.   

I spoke to his mom..who is African-Amer..she couldn't figure it out and was very embarrassed. 

She finally saw a commercial on Nickelodeon a few days later for "Nick-o-ween".   

[The Bacon Junkie]

 

Nick-o-ween!

[IZ]

Nick-o-ween!

Have you heard of this?!    

[The Bacon Junkie]

Ya, from my nephew and niece.   It's just marketing of Nickelodeon.  They just use it during October to promote all the Halloween crap they put on tv is all...

Nothing special...

[Drunken Monkey]

When my daughter was around 2 we turned off her cartoon because it was time for dinner and she immediately threw a tantrum.

I turned to my wife and said "Careful 'hon, we've got a TV junkie on our hands"

My daughter, in full tantrum says "I. AM. NOT. A. JUNKIE! JUST. ONE. MORE. SHOW. I promise it'll be my last show EVER."

I had to bite my lip to not lose it. My wife had to leave the room just so my daughter wouldn't see her laughing her ass off.

[Doctor Woodrow]

My son, who is about 2 1/2 poured his milk into my wife's cup at dinner (EWW, backwash), lanes over it observing his handiwork, takes a sip, and says "Ahhh, that's just right"

He also loves the movie 'Finding Nemo', and so he calls all fish "Nemo's", but he can't seem to say 9it right so he says "Look at all the Meanos".
