Today was another good day @ school... One girl in my class had me cracking up twice...

The kids had a word ladder for morning work today... they are given a word and then asked to make certain changes to turn it into another word-- working all the way up... Anyway... one of the words today was "tine"-- this one gave them trouble as they had never heard this word. The clue was "one of the points on a fork"
 
So as we go over it-- I explain that each of those points are called tines-- some forks have 3, some 4... and some fancy-pants forks have 5...
 
One of my hilarious girls exclaims-- "Good grief! They name EVERYTHING! And who ARE they anyway??"
 
Ah bless them all...

And ANOTHER...
 
The SAME girl said today @ recess (re: our upcoming 3 day trip to Tremont)--
 
"Are we allowed to take a shower because I have a STENCH!"
 
Oh lord.... Thank God for a good class... and TGIF!
