the state that i am in » Preschool Chatter

One of the perks of my job is that I get to hear awesome things that kids say. Here are just a few of my favorites from recent week…

Little Boy #1: I have to tell you something.
Me: What’s that?
Little Boy #1: You gots the same shoes as my mom.
Me: Well, your mom must have good taste…and shop at Target.
Little Boy #1: (wide eyed) She does shop at Target! Did you see her?

In this next scene, of my kids and I are playing in the kitchen. He has just given me some orange juice, I drink it and hand it back to him.

Little Boy #2: Thank you.
Me: Thank you!
Little Boy #2: No. Miss Erin, I am talking about thank you, and you are talking about you’re welcome.
Me: Oh, ok. Thank you.
Little Boy #2: No. Miss Erin, I am talking about thank you, and you are talking about you’re welcome.
Me: Ok. Got it.
Little Boy #2: Thank you.
Me: You’re welcome.
Little Boy #2 gives approving nod.

Me: So, I hear you put a paper clip in an electrical outlet the other day.
Little Boy #3: Yup.
Me: That probably wasn’t a very smart thing to do! We wouldn’t want you to get hurt.
Little Boy #3: Well, I didn’t die!
Me: …

They’re all funny, but Boy #3 sounds a lot like one of my co-workers. I’m pretty sure we’ve had that exact conversation with him at one point…

I work with 2-year-olds and I just love having conversations with them! The things they talk about is so funny!

Today, I was helping one of my two-year-olds go potty, so as she was pulling down her skirt and underpants, she says, “UGH! Why did my mom put 14 pairs of underpants on me today?”

Ouch man, ouch

That’s awesome! I love the crazy things kids say. When I did AmeriCorp I taught health and safety classes to preschool and primary school kids. We kept a list in the office of all the funny things kids would say or ask and they were great to read on a bad day!

So cute! I love little kids

The 3rd kid is right
