Apples v Pears

Every day after nap, the children get a small snack before heading outside to play and be picked up. One day, as I was passing out their snack of sliced apples and pieces of cheese, one child, who had eaten his apple very quickly, called out, "More pears, Miss Rachel!" Before I had the chance to remind him to ask nicely, one little girl chimed in, stating with a bit of attitude, "Those are apples, not pears. They're not squishy.... They're like frozen pears!"

So there you have it! Apples are like frozen pears!

Modern Conveniences

While getting ready to go outside and play, one little boy came up to me and said, "Look Miss Rachel, I have none sock on this foot! It's because I got egg on it." He paused and then said, as if it was a completely novel idea, "But it's ok. My mom has this thing called a washer and dryer."

Grown-up Hair

One of the girls in my class has beautiful long, blonde hair. One day, I noticed that the ends were in cute little ringlets and I asked her if her mom had curled her hair for her that day. She replied, "No, it's just getting grown-up-y." When I didn't understand, she explained by saying, "I always knew that one day I would have curly hair like my mom!"
