Overheard in kindergarten today as the teacher TRIED to lead a discussion about heritage. (She fell off her chair and onto the floor laughing...)
I’m half Ireland.
I’m half Spanish.
I’m half Picksburgh.
I think I’m half Florida. That’s where my grandparents live.
Yep. they're brilliant.
**It's a post from the "lost" files. I can't bear to part with them. I'm still working on one more Blogher post - but the family beckons....

Which half is polished though?
It should be a great experience to live in many places. You would have good experience in having relationship with many people.
too cute. kids say the most amazing things...i cringe to imagine what my boys may say they are half made of...lol.
I'm glad those "lost" files aren't really lost. They're too precious.
I think I'm half Picksburgh, too, what do youns guys think?
Screw the family, WE are your READERS. I'm half impatient, myself.
I love these kid stories!!! They always brighten up my day!
Cuteness!!
My kid's are half-crazazy.
Adorable... they aint half gorgeous, as we might say here in UK!
I'm half crocked, and it's only 11:52 am. It's 5:00 somewhere, though.
When Laura was younger, she once said that her grandfather lived in a condom (condo) in Nipples (Naples). He also had an "Italian accident" (accent).
Kids. :)
I'm half snarky.
too funny and so is Braja...LOL
I'm half mutt. Just saying. Bwahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
Kindergarten... the greatest stage of childhood... really curious about everything, but not yet pains in the ass!
We used to say we were half Polish and half Dutch, so we were either Dolish or Putch!
Magic number at 12!!!! Wow!
My daughter must be half-polished, too. She went to a polka festival last weekend!
I met some people at BlogHer who were probably half pickled by the end of the conference, nationality aside.
I'm a European mutt myself. Russian, German, Polish. And then people immediately assume I'm Spanish. Good times, good times.
NO HABLO ESPANOL!
Miss you!
This was just as funny the second time around!!!
Awwww...you're still glowing! Irish/Polish over here!
Not ready to go back to school....nooooo!!!
Peace - Rene
I wish I taught kindergarten, they are just so adorable!
You want to go family, go family.
I'm half-faced!
We want to hear about the conference. And where are the pictures, Missy? Hmmm??
HA! This made me smile!
I liked that about kindergartners, but they are so damp! Dampness oozes out of every orifice of kinders!
Half awake.
Ya, it's lame, but I'm too damned hot to be creative.
lol @ Braja! I first read it as polish.. like Pledge.
I am all Florida!
Kids are so damn cute.
I don't remember this post. I am glad you posted it again.. it is a classic.
I always tell people I'm half Austrian, half Heinz 57 sauce. It's my Dad's side of the family which has a combination of many different things including 1/8th Polish (which makes me 1/16th Polish)
It's the combination of half a Picksburg and half a Florida that really worries me.
sad to say by the time they make it to college their ability to know what ethnicity is doesn't get much better.
I'm 1/4 everything. ;)
so glad you hadn't parted with this one. to funny..
I'm half Scottish, the other half Yorkie I guess! LOL!
A few years ago, during the same sort of discussion one student said: "You can't be Italian, that's a sandwich."
I LOVE the discussions like these in school!
Today I'm half................way to a nervous breakdown.
I think I'm half Uff Da Yah You Betcha. Is that GOOD??? :)
I'm so glad to have met you at BlogHer. I was the overly quiet and zoned out one with Lee and Deb. So nice to meet you!
I'm half disausted.
That's awesome - too bad we didn't meet in person at blogher maybe next year!
Cheers,
Anita
I'm full on Jersey,
at least, until I moved to Martha's Vineyard. Now I don't know what the hell I am.
Certainly not adorable like those little guys you quote all the time!
When discussing religions once in his classroom one of my husband's 4th graders asked about "rednecks" and if they are one of the major religions. Bwa hahahahaha!
