Sometimes EVERYthing Is Funny

My classroom isn't the most quiet, most structured room in the school. I just don't like being the dictator that demands silence when the kids work (unless it's necessary). I don't like robot kids that only do what they're told (most of the time). That means sometimes my room is a little noisy. I think it's healthy for kids to talk while they work, as long as it doesn't keep them from DOING their work.
Today my kids were working on a sequencing activity. We were making pictures of the sequence of lunchtime. For those of you who have forgotten what grade school lunch is like, the sequencing went like this: First, we line up. Then, we get our trays and eat lunch. Last, we go outside to play.
My kids were busily illustrating the lunchroom scene. There was the usual amount of talking. One table in particular, however, was doing more than talking. They were practically in tears, laughing. Another group of kids noticed that table of kids laughing and one of them said, "What are you guys laughing at?" One of the laughing kids, amidst his laughter, said, "We're saying funny stuff!"

I moved a little closer so I could hear what was soooo funny.

Here's what I heard.

"Dr. Phillin!" (Waaaa ha ha ha!)
"Bolden black hair!" (More peals of laugher.)
"Brown armpits!" (AHHHH HA HA HA HA!!)
"Brown pears!" (They were practically on the floor.)
"Brown belly button!" (This one nearly sent them over the edge. I wasn't sure if they were going to make it.)
"Dr. Enwald!" (I apologize to any Dr. Enwald's out there. Apparently your name is hilarious.)

Ah, those were the days. When a single word could send you into fits of laughter. I'm glad those days aren't only reserved for 6 year olds.
