I have another kindergarten story. Karen, I know I said I would scrap it but it really needs the italics so it's easier to tell here...

Setting: I teach four and five-year-olds so I usually wear some sort of pants to school because I'm on the ground with them all the time and I don't want to accidentally flash anyone. Today, I had an important meeting so I wore a dress and knee-high boots. One of my four-year-old boys caught sight of a bit of my leg at circle time and here's what followed:

Robert (looking shocked at seeing my skin): "Ms. Cosgrove! Where are your pants ??"
Me: "I'm wearing a dress today, Robert."
Robert: "Yes, but what happened to your pants?"
Me: "I'm wearing a dress and boots today so I don't need to wear pants."
Robert: "So... your daddy didn't give you pants today? He only gave you a dress and boots???"

At that point, my assistant had to excuse herself into the hallway to keep from bursting out laughing in front of the kids. Best moment of my day. :giggle

That is so hilarious!!! my boys just turned six and we have lots of interesting conversations too!!
 
Oh my goodness! So funny! I don't care if you scrap them, but you are now required to feed me at least one of these stories every week. I love them so much! :)
 
OMG. That is absolutely priceless. You really should share them with us all of the time. And you could always compile them all into a little mini album or something so you have them whenever you need a smile. I so envy you.
