Conversations with 4 year olds

Talking with 4 year-olds is a surefire way to bring more joy and laughter into your life! So here are some snippets of recent conversations I have had with my students.

Conversation 1 - All with the same student, but on different days
Student: Oh Mrs. McCord, I love your shirt! (Basic school spirit shirt, glad he likes it)
Student: Oh Mrs. McCord, I love your hair! (I had actually straightened my hair this day!).
Student: Oh Mrs. McCord, I love your shoes! (I was wearing my new TOMS, thanks for noticing!)
Student: Oh Mrs. McCord, I love your hair! (Now my hair was curly, apparently he loves it both ways)
Student: Oh Mrs. McCord, I love you shirt! (Different school spirit shirt, but apparently same great taste!)
Student: Oh Mrs. McCord, I love your hands!
Me: Thanks?!
 *Need an ego boost? Stop by my classroom :-)

Conversation 2:
Student: My daddy's black.
Me: I know, I met him yesterday when he dropped you off at school.
Student: Yeah.
Me: My brothers and sister are black.
Student: Why?
 *Uhhh, good question!

Conversation 3: Student is crying in the bathroom stall
Student (crying): Mrs. McCord! Mrs. McCord! My mommy taught my how to wipe, but I just keep wiping and wiping and it won't come clean!
 *Man...I hate it when that happens!

Conversation 4:
Student (first thing she says when she sees me): Mrs. McCord! I have a baby in my mommy's tummy. But it won't come today.

Conversation 5:
Student: Mrs. McCord, I didn't tell you that I loved you today!
Me: Well that's ok, you just got here.
Student: Ok, I love you Mrs. McCord!
 *It just doesn't get more genuine than that!


Unfortunately I've already forgotten a lot of the little, funny things that are said during the day. But I will try to write them down and share from time to time. Everyone needs a little freshness and honesty!
Praise God for our little children!
