Alex: How old do you have to be to retire?
Me: Um, usually 65.
(long pause...)
Alex: How old is Mrs. Tartaglini?
ouch.....!
This one was more a quote on my part but the kids loved it.
Me: So when you're powerful enough to take over an entire country, you get to decide what religion they are. So the Chinese came into Korea and spread Buddhism through the power they had.
Brayhan: Miss Yadlin, do you like power?
Me: Brayhan, who doesn't?
Brayhan: I don't like it when people who don't have a lot of power think that they really do have a lot of power.
Me: Well listen, Brayhan. I don't care how much power you think I have. All I'm going to remind is that I'm still in charge of the gradebook.
Class: Oooohhh (softly)
Me: Oh, and would you like some ice with that burn (said of course with a grin).
Class: Ohhh! Brayhan, she told you!
And this one came today while discussing the accidental invention of tea.
Benny: So tea was actualy an accident.
Me: Yes, Benny. A lot of what is invented comes because of an accident.
David: So does that mean I'm an accident?

Quotable Quotes
Amanda told me that I should write down all the funny quotes my kids have said over the months so I'm going to start compiling them here. I can't remember too many off the top of my head so for now, I'm just going to put the ones that I can remember and then try to add to them later.
Denny: No straight man is name Chester!
Nick: Why do British people say "wink wink, nudge nudge" all the time? (when requesting that I speak in a British accent)
Me: Yeah, I was kind of in a bad mood yesterday.
Kristine: Yeah, we noticed....
OK, I for the life of me can't think of any more right now. I'll think of more later though and make sure to write them down and add them. Trust me, my kids are funnier than I make them out to be :)
