I get the best quotes in the car....

While driving home one of my students, he commented,
"Agh, I just wish my mom would give me the master bedroom."

I asked him, "Well, where would she sleep then?"

He said, "Um probably in the attic..."

I replied, "Oh, your poor Mom! Wouldn't she be scared?"

He said, "Nah, we'd give her a light.... She'd be fine..."

So just when you think the world is against you, remember, so are your kids.

"In my day..."

As I was driving one of my six year old students to a social group, we turned the corner to our destination and he commented:

"Hey! I used to come here all the time when I was a kid! Now look at it. What a dump..."

Well in that case, I'm constantly "underrated"

Me: "How was school today?"

Student: "Alright. We are practicing for our school play."

Me: "Oh yeah, how's that going?"

Student: "Um, Ok...my class is singing a song that is really "underrated"

Me: "Underrated? Why do you say that?"

Student: "Well, I'm trying to find a nicer way of saying "lame"..."
