i love stuff that kids say! of course, teaching 4-year olds, i have LOADS of hilarious stories, but they are never very funny written down.
You should try asking them some of these questions and see what kind of answers you get, Amanda!
When I told Bera about this, she reminded me that after we moved our house back further on some land we owned in order for a service station to be erected, I told my Sunday School teacher that we were now living in the chicken yard. We were. The land we moved the house on had formerly been the chicken yard. I was five.
Oh, no. That mortified her. I know her. She wanted to hide after that, Auntie. You were a baaaad child.
