The funny things that children say

As a teacher I have heard some of the cutest, funniest and craziest things come out of childrens mouths!

Lets share some of the funny things we've heard kids say (doesn't matter if it was from a student of yours, your own child, some random lil rug rat, etc)


From a 3rd grader:

I had 2 little girls sitting on the floor at DEAR (drop everything and read) time and one was sitting with her legs open. The other little one proceeds to tell her "GIRL, YOU BETTER CLOSE YOUR FISH MARKET" When i asked her what she said she repeated her comment followed by "YA KNOW- YOUR GIRL THING." When I asked her where she heard that she replied with" Thats what my mamma tells me"


From a 2nd Grader:

Student- "How did the baby get in your belly?"
Me- "Thats something that you need to ask your mommy."
Student- "I already did and she told me that she didn't know. Since neither of you know, is there a science teacher that I can talk to?"

Re: The funny things that children say

A 2nd grader came up to me and this was our conversation:

her: Mrs. Ladybug, how do you spell VCR?

me: V.....C.....R

her: OK thank you!!


Another time I had a first grader tell me, "Mrs. Ladybug, Carina keeps calling me a tattle tale!"

The other day, I was walking with 3 students and another teacher who speaks with a British accent. After the teacher walked away, the boy asked me, "Miss Jones, what language was he speaking?"

Another time, a boy asked me if I was pregnant. After proceeding to tell him about the inappropriateness of his question b/c sometimes women can't have children, another boy replies, "Yeah Aaron, it's called a lost carriage." He really tried.

Finally, I have a note jar. OMG, the notes I get.

1-Miss Jones-you rock. I like your sense of style.

2-Miss Jones-I might go to the bathroom a lot. Mom thinks I have a UTI.

DH had a kid ask him today if Santa really has lists. She really thinks that it isn't true because she wasn't good last year and she still got presents.

A few years back he had a child tell him that his dad was mad at his mom because she was spending too much time in the closet with the maid.

My SIL told her kids that she was going to give them ice cream sandwiches and my niece asked if she could help and my SIL said sure. My niece said ok, I'll go get the bread.

One of my midddle school students asked what date was Christmas this year. I told him it falls on the 25th this year

While teaching prohinition one asked if you can get drunk off of wine or if that's just beer.

One of my students responses on a district test this week"

Q: How many miles did the family drive, rounded to the nearest 10?
Explain your answer.


A: 80 miles. Well I have a teacher who taught us all about this kind of thing and I thought about it and took her advice so I found the right answer.
