Kids say the funniest things....

Yes, I know I am stealing that title from a TV show, or is it the "darnedest" things??? Either way, they do.

We went to a function at Danielle's school called Dinner and a Book. We went to her school, ate a school lunch that they called dinner, (Actually, it was either super good chili or I was just super hungry....), then we had to rotate from classroom to classroom, doing different activities and listening to different speakers.

So, the first one was this really patient lady that was teaching all the kids ( and parents) about the food pyramid ( did you know it has TOTALLY changed since when I was a kid), about what foods are healthy, what foods are categorized as, and she also went into this big spiel about how Calcium is super healthy for yourself, including your bones. So, she said that 99% of your bones were calcium ( who knew) and that you could have osteoporosis if you didn't eat enough of it. (Yes, I know that....) She shows us all some containers of a white powdery substance and she says the amount in the littler container would be the amount of calcium in a baby's bones if they were ground up and put in that container. So, the first little kid raises his hand and says " Is that a real baby???". She happily tells them no, it is not. So, she goes to the next bigger container and says the same thing but that it would be the amount in an 8 year old bones. Yep, the next kid raises his hand and asks " Is that a real 8 year old???", she happily tells him, no. And on and on, you get the picture.

The next room is where we got to be involved in a "Chain" story. You know, one person starts it and passes on to the other to add their part of the story. So, the teacher starts it. All the little girls are like...." And the baby and the mommy ride the boat down the river and watch the birds fly by....." and the little boy that was next goes...." And a huge shark jumped out of the water and bit the heads of the mom and the baby...." then the next little girl is like...." then the shark opened his mouth and the mommy and the baby jumped out of the shark's mouth and got back on the raft and sang happy songs......" and the next little boy goes...." then the raft went off the cliff and they died." ( I guess that's the end.)

So, we next went to a classroom where the kids bodies were traced while they were laying on paper. One little girl was carefully drawing around a little boy and she tried really hard to draw everything just perfect. Then they switched, and the little boy drew the girl in like 2 seconds and before he got done he went back up to her head and drew "devil" horns on it. So the mom of the boy noticed before the mom of the girl did and the boys mom went over to the drawing and drew a huge red bow over the top of the horns. The whole time I was just cracking up. Gosh, kids are too funny. Thank god for the difference between boys and girls. It keeps thing interesting.
