From the Mouth of Babes

So here are some of the funniest things said at school so far this year:
"I really like your face, Mrs. Hild." (from a first grader)
"Lady, what's taking so long?" (from another first grader waiting to use the nurse's bathroom where I was pumping)
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lilly. He's in the bathroom with a little boy." (from a secretary telling the superintendent why Kris couldn't come to the phone. For the record, he was responding to a call in the boys' bathroom for a sick student.)
"Enjoy some yeast this morning as a thank-you for your work at Open House." (Kris emailing staff about donut Friday. Also for the record: the email was revised prior to sending.)
"My dad thinks you're hot." (from a second grader, in front of said dad and mom at open house.)
"Do you have anything I can snack on?" (from a first grader, in the hallway.)
(from a kindergartener, after I asked him to be quiet and winked at him.)
"That's okay. The blonde lady is my friend." (from a kindergartener to his mother, who warned him if he didn't behave at school, he would have to go to the principal's office.)
"Brush your teeth, or you will get sugar bugs on your gums." (Dental hygenist explaining importance of dental care to K-1, to which Kris responded, 'Sugah Bugah!' and I cracked up.)
"I'm here to see Thelma...No, ma'am, she don't know me, but I'm her neighbor." (Um, no.)
"Yes, I need to come in." (Visitor responding to secretary when asked what she needed at the front door.)
"She points to it too much." (second grader explaining why he wouldn't respond to the 'Please be quiet" sign)
"Whaat?! You look at least twenty-six!" (From a third grader when I told her I was 32.)
