What country is that in?:


Mrs. Smith:  "Any of you can grow up to be president of the United States if you were born a US citizen in the United States."


Carl: "Not me. I can't. I was born in Buffalo. "

Well, he raises a good point...

blognut said...

Buffalo? He's just as qualified as that nut from Wasilla, then.

blognut said...

Probably even more so, come to think of it.

Obviously you've never heard of Buffalo, France.

Hey!! This kid is your student???

LOL

I live in fear of running into one of my students at the ER ... as the doctor!!!!!!

SkylersDad said...

Maybe he was born there during that short period where Canada annexed Buffalo?

Pseudo said...

Ah. Well. He's got a few years before he is voting.

I sometimes wonder who writes for these kids! The stuff that comes out of their mouths is too too funny! OMG! I just had the greatest idea EVER. Have parents sign release forms. Contact Fox Network, have them put a hidden camera in your classrooms. It would be the funniest reality show!! I would actually watch it too!

Captain Dumbass said...

What are you teaching those kids?

K Dubs said...

That is comedy! Hope they haven't had geography in any form yet.. LOL

Counselormama said...

My goodness, kids are so precious. They really keep you on your toes. I just don't understand how anyone could ever harm one of them.

The Gaelic Wife said...

Too funny!

MereCat said...

Well, that might be true...

Travis Erwin said...

Those of us west of the Mississippi definitely consider Buffalo a foreign land.

Mango Girl said...

Thankfully that came out of the mouth of a child.

This is an actual conversation I had on a plane, with an ADULT! (I was living in South Dakota at the time; had a plane change in Salt Lake...)

Seat mate as soon as I sat down:

"Where you from?"

Me: "South Dakota"

Seat mate: "where's that?"

Me: "Right below North Dakota"

Seat mate: "I know that. But how FAR below North Dakota?"

I quickly buried my head in my book and put in my earphones.

I don't know much about the US but surely they don't allow Texans citizenship...? Do they?

Anyplace that can create such excellent hot wings can NOT be of this country. No way.
