If I had thought of this 5 years ago, I could probably write a book. And even if I had thought to do this from Day One of this school year, I'd still have a hefty list. But I didn't. So, here's what I came up with for most of this semester. Enjoy.
Top 13 (couldn't narrow it down to 10) Things My Students Have Said:
13. Do you have to pay to vote?
12. Can you vote more than once?
11. (When I asked what my student that was assigned Cupid knew about the topic) Cupid was a baby or something, right?
10. Is it a law about wearing white after Labor Day?
9. The difference between a crocodile and an alligator is one's female and the other's male.
8. (In October) Isn't it St. Patrick's Day? I'm not wearing any green!
7. (In November, the week before Thanksgiving) Isn't next week Christmas?
6. All the Presidents have been assassinated, right?
5. (One of my students, talking to me) Did they call you Mrs. Lionhead when you were in school?
4. Who's Saddam Hussein?
3. (While watching a story on Apache Indians in Arizona) What country are those people from?
2. (While watching a news story on U.S. Soldiers playing with Iraqi children) Isn't it dangerous for the kids to play with the soldiers? What if they shoot them?
And the number one quote out of one my ACTUAL student's mouth (who said quite a few of the above genius phrases), is:
1. There are women in the Army??

OMG that is amazing! My personal fav? The crocodile and the alligator. Doesn't get better than that!
Yeah, I know. The things they say blow my mind sometimes. I'll have to post another one, when I have another 10 or so. Maybe the week we get back.:)
You must read my post about Doughboy discovering "sex"...it falls right into your list. I am, constantly, amazed at what comes out of their mouths.
