Students Say the Darndest Things..

I've been compiling this list for quite sometime know. Sometimes I wish I could write all these down as soon as they happen. My list would be MUCH longer if that was the case. Students say/ask so many interesting things throughout the day, and sometimes their personalities overwhelm me. But, these are the people that inspire me. They inspire me to be a better person and work harder than the day before. So without further ado, my first installment of "Students say the darndest things.."

7th Grade boy during spirit week (one day during spirit week was dedicated to dressing up as something you want to be when you grow up) - "Miss Mainero, can I bring my puppet to class tomorrow? I'm planning on being a puppeteer when I grow up." Me - "Well...(trying not to laugh) No, you are going to have to leave your puppet in your locker."

7th Grade boy while subbing - "If you lived in Florida or Hawaii, do you think you would invest in solar panels on your house so you could be more enviromentally friendly?" Same coversation a few minutes later.."Miss Mainero, in all reality trying to be eco-friendly is sometimes less cost efficient, but would you invest in a Chevy Volt or would you stick with the car you have now?".."How much do you spend in gas per week?"

9th Grade girl during long term subbing - "Miss Mainero, what do you think about grannie panties?" - I'm pretty sure my face on this one was priceless..I put a stop to that one real quick..

7th Grade boy during long term subbing - "Miss Mainero, you have very shiny hair! Do you use conditioner? Does it smell like strawberries or coconuts?" - Me - "Thank you?.." uhhhhh....

7th Grade boy during long term subbing -"Miss Mainero, do you text?" -Me: "What kind of question is that? Go sit down.." lol..

Lol. I should get an Oscar for the amount of times I keep a straight face because I have become one great actress!..
