Here are some of my favorite quotes from the classroom
"Accidents"
Setting: I had minor carpet burn on my elbow and a Kindergarten student was curious.
Student: “Mr. Milliren, what happened to your elbow?”
Teacher: “I had an accident, nothing to worry about. Do you ever have accidents?”
Student: “Well, I used to when I wore pull-ups, but now I wear underwear so I don’t have them anymore.”

“Can we breathe?”
Setting: Kindergarten students were getting directions for an activity called "Freeze" and one student raised his hand for a question.
Student: “Like, when we do this, can we breathe?”
Teacher: “I would hope so. You might not live if you don't breathe.”
Student: “Well, you said we have to freeze so I didn't know if I had to freeze everything,even my mouth.”
