out of the mouths of babes

The other day at school I was trying to fix one of my little girls hair. I kept putting the clip in her hair, but it kept falling out. After trying to fix it 3 or 4 times I finally apologized and said, "I'm not very good at fixing little girl's hair because I don't have a little daughter.

Here's how the rest of the conversation went.....

Little Boy: You don't have a daughter??

Me: No.

Little Boy: But what about your son.

Me: I don't have a son.

Little Boy: You mean your don't have any kids.

Me: No, we don't have any kids yet.

Little Boy: Then why are you "maweed". (married)

Me: Well you get married first and then you have kids later.

Little Boy: Well does your Daddy have a kid.

Me: I am my Daddy's daughter.

Little Boy: No your Daddy.....Mr. Matt.

Me: Oh, Mr. Matt is my husband, not my Daddy! He doesn't have any kids either.

Little Boy: Well when are you going to "get a kid"

Another little girl enters the conversation

Little Girl: Mrs. Link will get a baby when God puts a seed in her tummy.

Little Boy: A seed??

Little Girl: Ya, the seed will grow into a baby.

Little Boy: Mrs. Link, if you eat a watermelon seed, will a watermelon grow in your tummy?

Me: No, Sweetie it doesn't really work that way!

There really is never a dull moment in my classroom.

I wish I could just hop into one of my kiddos brains. It just cracks me up how their brains think.
