I help my daughter's (2nd grade) teacher out a few times a week, which I really enjoy being able to do. It is a great thing, and the majority of the class are great kids. I really enjoy being able to help the teacher and work with the kids.
Right now what was my point again??
Oh yeah, today, I took a few of the kids upstairs to the computer lab, which is what I usually do on Tuesdays, but the funny part about it was, there was a dictionary up there. Now the kids that I usually take up there are absolutely funny, because they are smart as whips, and they are just, well to put it simply unique, but thats good. Anyway, one of the little boys spotted the dictionary and decided to look up foul words. And he looked up B!t$h which I didnt know about until later, then one of the other boys, (whose mom happens to be a teacher at the school) decided he was going to find as many bad words in the dictionary as he could. And he knew how to spell them all, which was even more amusing. I told him he shouldnt do it, but of course he is a kid, and not going to listen most of the time, but he spent the next few minutes trying to find bad words. The last word he spent time finding was Hate.
Now, they don't like some of the kids in the class, and were going around saying Hate, so I told them it wasnt a very nice word to say, and it is a very strong word to say, which I whole heartedly believe (My daughter rarely uses that word, because she thinks it is a bad word.)
But then he looked up the definition and found that the other word in the dictionary for hate was detest, so he walked around for the next couple of minutes saying he dested this person.
Its funny, the things kids say and do for that matter, and most of the time its simply quite amusing. Especially the ones who are pretty smart.
These kids are great, I hardly ever had any issues with any of them.
Its funny sometimes to listen to a bunch of kids talk, and what they have to say.
They have a website that they get on for learning purposes, which is a great website, well actually the two they are allowed on are great, but they always try to convince me to let them get on other websites, and they are always competing with one another as to whom can get higher on the School high score list and the State High Score list. And that is pretty neat too. They are always trying to bump one another off the list.
I dont remember being this age, I dont remember any of the things I said or did near that age, I know we didnt have access to computers like the kids do today, if we had access at all.
Listening to them talk about who likes whom, and who did what and teasing one another ALL IN FUN, not making fun of, but just jesting them, is funny. Sometimes they can go a little to far, and then its time to step in, but the ones that I usually get to work with are really quite humourous. Even some of the other ones I dont get to work with daily (while I am there) are pretty interesting to talk to.
However it is great to sit back and listen to them, and their vast knowledge of things. Or what they think they know. And even them telling me I am wrong and trying to prove me so.
It is widely said and known that Kids Say the Darndest Things, but to actually sit back and listen to them is really very entertaining I think.

I used to love listining to the kids when I would help at the school, they are so curious, and they are just discovering the world around them...
