Spending My Days With 7 Year Olds

"Hey teacher?"
"What?"
"When you get an earache do they shrink a doctor and put him in your ear?"
"No."
"Yeah they do!"

For Show and Tell yesterday one of my students announced that he could dance really fast. Then he proceeded to show everyone. I WISH I had video of his dancing because describing it will never do it justice. Just picture a little kid with an over-sized sweatshirt, jeans, and big shoes frantically moving his feet forward and back as if he were trying to kill a mouse or some other small rodent. My students were impressed. Very impressed.

Then another student decided he wanted to perform for Show and Tell also. He was a little undecided at first as to what to show us. He did a few kicks and jumps before he finally settled on some sort of dance routine that involved squatting on the floor and kicking his arms and legs out. I think it was break dancing. Then he lied down on the floor with his arms at his sides, feet together and twitched, at which time he yelled "Dead tuna! Dead tuna!" After a few more reps of convulsions followed by "Dead tuna! Dead tuna!" he stood up and was finished. Once again, the masses were impressed.
