I had a little girl ask me where the turds are today |
|
As lots of you know, I volunteer at our local nature center and I take kids on field trips in the woods. We have all matter of animals in our care, including snakes, owls, turtles, bees, and toads. Well, a little girl came up to me and asked me where she could see the turds. I thought that she must mean "turtles", but when I told her where they were, she said she had already seen them. I kept trying to understand her and she kept saying "turds. I want to see the turds." Then it hit me. She meant "toads". She didn't have a speech impediment or anything because she was able to say the word correctly after I figured it out. Well, that's the funniest thing that happened to me today.

Too bad I don't get paid for it. Well, maybe it wouldn't be as fulfilling if I did.

We went to Mickey D's to eat and when I asked the kids what they wanted, one of them said "flies." It should have been obvious what he meant, but I didn't cotton on right away. I thought to myself that's one strange kid asking for "flies" for supper, or was this maybe some strange new kids' meal that I hadn't heard about before. So I explained I wasn't sure what he meant by "flies" and asked him again what he wanted to eat. Once more he said very forcefully, "I want FLIES" clearly getting a bit pissed off that I was such a dumbass that I didn't even know what flies were. "Flies like that," and he pointed to one of the trays a customer was carrying to a table. It was only when I saw the tray that the light bulb went off, and I figured out he meant FRIES not FLIES.

10. When a was a beginning teacher..... |
|
my kindergarten class was visited by twin lambs who were being bottle fed. One of the lambs had an accident. A darling little girl said, " Oh, look, he just defecated on the floor."
What a vocabulary, I thought. But then her father was a doctor. They must use scientific terms at home.
Shortly after that we visited the farm where the lambs lived to watch a shearing. A newly shorn fleece was laying outside the barn. I asked if anyone knew what it was. The same little girl piped right up, "I don't know, but it smells like shit to me!"
