So, I haven’t posted in a while…it’s not that there haven’t been things to post, but I’ve been swamped and overwhelmed, and poor Imagination Table has felt it. But, I thought I’d dump some kidisms from yesterday in here for your enjoyment…and to remind me that I have this space!

This week was Spirit Week at school, as well as our International Festival/Silent Auction. By yesterday the kids and teachers were spent. But, my kids were hysterical yesterday. Here are a few of their priceless kidisms.

In the morning I took away a swirly wand from one of my three-year-old princesses. We were worried about eyes being poked out. She was upset, so I told her to pretend she still had the wand. She said she couldn’t, so I said, “Is your pretender broken?” To which she responded, “Yes.”

At the end of the day, we were gathered for an all-school assembly for the end of spirit week. She was on my lap, and I found some very ticklish spots in her legs. She was laughing so hard that I think it got to be hard to breathe, so she said, “Miss Val, stop!”

“Is everything ok?” I asked.

“No! You’re breaking my pretender!”

At drop off yesterday morning, I was working with one of my three-year-old boys on an activity. He kind of sniffed towards me and said, “Miss Val, you smell like ham. I want to eat you!”

I told my co-teacher that I thought I needed to go home and re-shower, since I was sure that my soap was floral-scented!

As the kids were gathering for after care at the end of the school day, I kind of muttered, “Ooph. I’m getting a headache,” under my breath. A third-grader overheard me and said, “Did the children do it?”
