The things kids say...

Kids actually say the funniest things. Not a week goes by when one of us isn't chortling in the Staff Room about the latest gem. This week has led to some outright laughing outloud.

Poor Ms Marszalek was called Mrs Marshmallow - not that she minded. She loves the Preps, and she had had a particularly good time that morning so the name did leave her feeling all soft and gooey inside.

Maree was in stiches when a child informed her that her mother had referred to all the books in the library as Maree's babies. And then she couldn't contain herself when a Prep marched out of the Resource Centre exclaiming loudly ‘Well, that was fun’ as if he hadn’t expected it to be, and was clocking up yet another fun activity.

One of our gorgeous Year 2 girls informed her class that her mummy was so sick of her little sister telling her how to turn the pages of a book that she bought a kindle.

And earlier this week another little girl informed her mother that the President (me) had explained to her where she was supposed to play. I've been called a lot of things in my career but that title was very funny.

Many of us say 'I wish I had written down what that child said'. No matter how funny the comment is we do sometimes forget a child's view on life. We have started to record them - so if you hear us laughing outloud any time, it's probably because a little one has imparted an hilarious observation on the world around them.
