- "So Ms. Turner, what is your last name?"
- When I asked my kids to guess my weight, one responded "60 pounds! I know that because that's how much I weigh and you're about my size!"
- When asked who the mayor of Bowling Green was, two of my students eagerly raised their hand to answer. First answer, Barack Obama. Second answer, Martin Luther King.
- My sister and I work at the same school. She came in to tell the kids that she was pregnant, and I asked the kids if they could guess how far along she was. One kid yelled out "About 15 feet!"
- "You don't look 27 years old--you look about my size."
- "I like your phone. Is it a Blueberry?"
- I gave this scenario to my students one day; "The whole family got up early this morning. We've been excited for weeks. We've packed our suitcases. We are going to drive a long time and go to a place where we can visit two very famous mice. Where are we going?" One of my students shouted out "The Lousiville Zoo?"
- "When I get to be Ms. Turner's age, I hope my hair is like hers."
- "If I had one wish that could come true, I would wish that my teacher was pretty."
These are just a few of the great things that the kids have said. I have a lot more, maybe I'll have a second installment of "Straight from Second Grade."
