More Kindergarten Komedy

Joel and I have been reviewing letter sounds. A few days ago came this gem from our little homeschooled kindergartener. This anecdote will serve you, whether you're judgmental or self-righteous. It is what it is:

I got to the letter "f" and asked him to tell me five words that start with that letter.


He paused, looked remorseful and yet curious, then asked, "You mean good words?"

-------------------------------

Today we were reviewing the sound that the letter "r" makes. I asked him for five words that start with that letter.

He was looking around the room for clues, so I helped him with the first one.

"If you are not poor, you are ---"

"Happy!" he said.

I am laughing right now! It's not just your "properly" raised boy...last year in kindergarten the teacher asked my son to name a word that rhymed with "miss"- oh yes ma'm he said, "p_ s_"! All I could do what think it was funny. Ahhh the things kids say. Hope you're okay- praying for you today.
