My mom didn't think this was that funny, but I thought it was--especially since I was able to hear his voice.
Avery: [Says something about going to a football game for "John" this past weekend]
Me: "Ohh. How fun! Who's John? Is that your brother?"
Avery: "No. Um...He...He's Kathy's son."
LOL Since I know who Kathy is. I love this kid.

D.
Alex (whispering as he points at D.): "That's D.*"
Me: "That's right."
Alex (sincerely, still whispering): "She's beautiful."
Isn't that sweet? Just a few minutes before, a third-ish grader passed by D., telling the main preschool teacher, "She is sooo cute." Hope she stays as modest as she is now--despite the amount of attention she will probably receive from now on.
* "D." isn't her real name.

Avery
Teacher (reading a book showing a picture of a pig to the class): "Do you guys have curly tails?"
Class (Calmly): "Noooo."
Avery (standing up and lifting his arms excitedly): "We have BUTTS!"
ROFL! Usually we're not supposed to let the kids say potty words, but I let this one go because he meant it in a clean, honest way, and the other teacher didn't say anything (I don't even know if she noticed).
Honestly, Avery is one of the cutest and most hilarious and talkative kids I've ever met.

J. is Funny
Had two experiences with J. at the preschool today:
1--
Me (pointing at her painting): "Is this a sun?"
J: "Yeah."
Me: "What about this?"
J: "That's a rainbow."
Me: "Ohh. How pretty! What about this one? What is that?"
J: "Those are germs."
LOL I'd never heard of a kid drawing germs before.
2--
Me (picking up a plastic doll): "Oh! This is a girl."
J: "Yeah. It looks like a boy, and it's dirty, but it's a girl."
She made it sound like because it was dirty, it was a boy, but she could have meant that it's a boy and it's hard to tell that it's a girl because it's dirty. Either way, she made me laugh.

Random Quotes
So that I can clear out some of my Facebook profile quotes:
Blake H: "Do you guys have loud farts?"
Kurtis (after I had jokingly told him that I had left a potato on the counter because it was our new pet): "I feel like 'Fred' is a good name for a potato."
Nicole: "Music and food don't taste the same."
--> She was trying to say that once you fall for a guy, food and music just aren't the same anymore.
"One reported feeling orgasm in the phantom foot as well as the genitals--and enjoyed it intensely (Ramachandran & Blakeslee, 1998)."
-- p. 144 of Biological Psychology (10th Edition) - Kalat
"Sexual motivation was unaffected, although damage to the cerebellum presumably would have made copulation awkward."
-- Research in Psychology: Methods and Design (4th Edition)
"People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is that they have the power. You want to see a miracle? Be the miracle."
-- God (from Bruce Almighty)
Student: "Now that you have your degree, what are you going to apply your psychology to?"
Natalie Portman: "Messing with people."
C: "We should drink but have a sleepover so we don't have to worry about driving."
J: "Yeah. And then we can get wasted."
C: "Julie!"
J: "Moderately!"
C: "I don't think it's possible to be moderately wasted."
*Part of the funniness of this is that J is the last person you'd expect to say something like that. haha!
Corrie: "I think sex is hilarious."
Blake H: "I love it!"
[We were both talking about sex as a topic]

More Jajas
My Spanish teacher (S.C.) was reading off English words she wanted us to say in Spanish:
S.C.: "To be born."
Class: "Nacer."
S.C.: "To hate."
Class: "Odiar."
S.C.: "To have good babies."
[Brief confusion, followed by an uproar of laughter]
S.C.: "O! 'To have a good/bad time'! I need my glasses!"
[Later]
S.C.: "Quieren ir a la casa?" [You want to go home?]
Class: "Sí." [Yes]
S.C.: "Pues no." [Well no.]
So mean. But hilarious. The class deserves to be teased like that (everyone always complains and says rude and annoying things).

Spanish Got Dirty
I'd never laughed so hard in a Spanish class before today.
Girl (yes--the same funny "Girl"): "How do you say 'to shave your legs'?"
Girl 2: "You shave every day?"
Girl: "I shave EVERYTHING."
Instructor: "What is [Paco or some other Spanish name she made up for this question] doing?"
Class (in Spanish): "Taking a shower."
Instructor: "Bien. And what is in his hand?"
[Class hesitates]
Girl: "WHAT?!?!!!"
*The answer was "soap," by the way. lol
This one page in our textbook has drawings of people doing various things while getting ready to leave in the morning and sleep at night, and one of the female cartoon's eyes looked awful. I guess the artist was trying to make her look tired, but she looked as if she had a black eye. I'll post a picture of it so you can see. When the teacher asked us what the female cartoon does at night, someone automatically said, "She gets into fights." So hilarious. I think you just had to be there.
This blog is turning into my online GHAD (Get Happy Already, Dammit!) book. Maybe I'll move some of the things from my actual GHAD book to this site. A GHAD book, by the way, is pretty much a book that makes you happy when you're in a bad mood. Mine's full of inside jokes, friends' food preferences (yes...I do pay attention to this lol), pictures, old notes from friends, etc.
