When I started my job at Cornerstone I said I was going to start a notebook of all the crazy things kids say. Guess what…I haven’t started it. Imagine that! Luckily I do remember a few comments from the last couple of weeks. Maybe they’re only funny to me because I know the personality of the child who said it, but maybe you’ll laugh as hard as I did (inside, of course). So here is the first edition of “Kids Say the Darndest Things!”
>I was bending over talking to a little girl and my hair was falling in my face. Obviously she starts playing with it and asks, “Ms. Pruitt, where did you get your hair?”
>A girl came and told me she couldn’t get toilet paper in the bathroom. I came to help her and it was, in fact, hard to pull out, so I finally got a handful and handed it to her and she said, “I’ve got to booboo. I’m gonna need more than that.” I almost doubled over in laughter at her bluntness!
>This is more of an action than a comment but still very funny. The kids were all lining up to leave Spanish class (their number is called in Spanish) and one of the quietest girly-girls in our class stands up, puts two fingers from each hand to her mouth and kisses them, then throws deuces. Then politely walks to line up, of course.
I still love my job and look forward to seeing my class every morning. It has its challenges, but it is experiences like these that make each day fun, eventful, and meaningful. So much has happened in the last six months, some good and some difficult changes, but I love where God has placed me and is using me. I’m excited to see what the next six months hold and know that wherever or whatever it is, it will all be in God’s hands and perfect plan.
