kids have no concept of anything. i walked into my kindergarten class and one kid asked me what my name was. when i said miss jones, he said βi like that name. did you know iβm in love with youβ
i asked my four year old cousin how old he thought i was going to be at my next birthday and he said 8. im 23
once i told a 6 year old that i had finished school and was doing βmore schoolβ [university] and she asked βwhy havenβt you found anyone to marry thenβ
We were at a museum and I was asking for the student discount and my nine year old cousin looks up at me with his eyes wide and says βwait youβre a STUDENT??β
I used to babysit these three kids and the eldest who was around 11 at the time was talking about how adults are boring and when I told him I was an adult he said, βThatβs not true, youβre my ageβ
our aunt teaches and she has this story about a little girl who really was always pretty quiet in class and then on the final day of kindergarten she just up and stated βiβm all teached now. i donβt need to be teached anymore. iβm done of being teached.β
once when i was 19, I told my little cousin that i was 19 and she looked up at me with huge eyes and went, βDoes that mean you donβt have to bring an adult with you to the pool?β
My 6 year old cousin saw me driving for the first time, looked up at him mom and said βdoes that mean she is married now?β
I watched my dad and my niece (3 at the time) arguing over a pair of pants and whether or not they were also a dress. My neiceβs argument was that they were, in fact, also a dress because they were blue.
I asked the kids in my daycare class what they thought I should be for Halloween and this little boy goes, βooh I know! A pickle! Youβd be such a good pickleβ
On the first day of class with my favorite student of all time, I said, βAre you okay? You look like you have a question.β And she looked me right in the eyes and said, tremulously,
βCan a piranha eat a stapler?β
One time I was working with a kid and he looked up at me and asked βDo you have a boy?β I had no idea what he was talking about, but I told him that I did not have any boys. He looked shocked and then deeply concerned and said βWell, you better hurry up and shave your arms so you can get married; August is next month!β
I was sitting on the floor with my 3yo niece and we were playing with her younger brotherβs alphabet blocks and the O had an octopus on it. Β So I picked it up and asked her what it was.
βOctopus,β she said, all curls and smiles.
βAnd what kind of animal is an octopus?β I asked. Β I was looking forΒ βfishβ orΒ βsea creatureβ but I would have accepted almost anythingββweird,βΒ βgross,β evenΒ βslimy.β Β βUnderwaterβ orΒ βit lives in the oceanβ would have also been acceptable.Β
She looks me right in the eye and says, happy as a clam,Β βItβs a cephalopod.β
I havenβt been the same since.
my oldest sister is 10yrs older than me. I am 11yrs older than her 1st kid. When he was about 6/7 his mom and our middle sis are moved out and I still live at home with my single mom, I also have a diff dad than my sisters so I never go to 'grampas' house.
one day nephew is talking to my mom and she calls me her daughter which really confused him because apparently this whole time he thought I was 'an orphan that grama just let live with her all the time' but I wasn't actually related to the family at all. he just has a very sweet and understanding grama.
