My cousins Emily and Patrick are super duper close. Patrick is the nicest kid (he's 22) and he hangs out with Emmy all the time (she's 5). One day, Emmy was at home with her parents, Eddie and Gina. She kept calling him Father, so my aunt gina said "Em, just call him dad!" and she looks at her and says "Patrick is my DAD, Edward is my FATHER."
And I always dress in yoga pants, t-shirt, and messy bun to teach the class, so one day I walked in in jeans, with my hair straight, and a nice sweater on (I hadn't had time to change after school) and one of the boys named Mike raised his hand and said "I just wanted to make it know that you look stunning today!" The whole class started consulting with each other and agreeing with him. I just started to laugh and told them they made my day.
And don't even get me started about the comments/questions they have when I'm in the middle of reading the book to them since they can't read. Some of my favorites:
"Do you think Jesus will make sure I have cowboy boots on before I go to heaven? I wouldn't want to go to heaven without looking my best for Jesus."
"Did you know that my kindergarten teacher had to pull a rock out of my nose today?" To which I replied with "What does that have anything to do with the lesson?" and he said "It doesn't, but I just thought you might have wanted to know."
"Do pineapples have feelings like us?"
"But sometimes when I yell at my sister it makes me feel so powerful."
"Jesus must not have had brothers or sisters or he wouldn't have put "Thou shalt not kill" in his rule book"
We were going over the ten commandments and the one time this kid Cody is paying attention he asks the question "What does Adultery mean? I think I may have did adultery once."
"Why would Jesus steal Santa's holiday from him? That's sort of mean for Jesus to do."
