what do u say?

I've made a lot of mistakes before i got to you.
Each of them honest and none that i regret.
Life is too short.
So why don't we take a chance, and take a leap elsewhere beside here?
I'll hold your hand, i promise.

Kids DO say the darndest thing

I've been working in Lynn's and Yenn's Mom, Mrs. Ng's kindergarten for about 4 months now. Before teaching, i used to stay up late, wake up even later and spent time doing nothing til practices/rehearsals/training/ performances starts... so practically the days go by with me wasting half the day away.

One day, Mrs. Ng called me up and told me she needed help as she was short of staff and she would be away for a week. So i thought, "Hey, it's about time i get up off my butt and do something more productive.." So yup.. here i am, teaching, educating little kids and sometimes let them drive me nuts once in a while now.

I think they drive me nuts every single day now....
... and one of it has got to be the darndest thing they say.

Case One:
There's this one boy who kinda grew close to me. As in he never got close to any other teacher before. First day itself he was talking to me alot, asking where i come from, have i finished school and stuff...
gosh, kid acting like an adult.

Kid#1: Teacher, i like you.
Me: I like you too. Now go get a book and read :)
Kid#1: Would u be my girlfriend?
Me: *@___@* what?
Kid#2: Don't believe him, he's got 2 other girlfriends at school already!!
Kid#1: NOoo... i break up with them already!! I want you teacher...
Me: Little children shouldn't be saying things like that ok?
Kid#2: Really wan!! He really have TWO gfs!! *shows two short lil fingers in front of my face*
Me: How u know? Why u all have gfs and bfs at such young age?
Kid#2: Of course i know, he was my boyfriend and then i gave him to that two other girls!
Me: *faints*

Case two:

Kid XX: TEACHER, YY TOUCH MY KKB*!!!!
Me: What's going on? You cannot touch other people like that, it's not appropriate, u know? *tells YY*
Kid YY: No la, where got touch? i see only ma...
Me: -_____-"

*KKB is short for KuKu Bird = baby talk for male genital organs
In case u wanna know, YY is a girl..

Case three:

Girl A: Teacher, why is Girl B showing her panties to the class?
Me: Really? Did u do that? *asks Girl B*
Girl B: You wanna see? *lifts skirt*
Me: HEY! That's not nice... Boys won't respect you if you keep doing that, u know?
Girl B: Doesn't matter, i have two boyfriends already anyway :)
Me: *speechless*

omg.. talk about sl** in the making...

Case four:

A parent walked in the classroom to pay his children's school fees. The kids' father, Mr.Q is an impeccably dressed, tall and charming man who smiles at all the kids in the class. And because his daughter is in my class, he also know some of his daughter's friends as the kids like to hang out at each other's house for parties and sleepovers. So he chatted with them a bit while waiting to pay school fees.

When he left, one new girl (who has never seen Mr.Q before) stared long and hard before saying: "Mr.Q is so handsome and he smells sooo nice."

Gosh, it would sound so different if an adult talk like that about another married man. LOL

There u have it, kids say the darndest things.
