It appears that Frank has some stiff competition...


I would be remiss if I didn't admit that there are many darling souls that have captured my heart this year.


Stanley is one of them.



Friday during our morning "telling sharing" session, it was Stanley's turn.

We waited. And we waited. Finally, he spoke up.


"I'm gonna HAF to decwime. I just can't SINK of anyfing..."






Stanley - 1

Frank - 0

Last night I could not decwime another glass of wime.

I fully agree with your scorekeeping. An automatic win HAS to go to any kid who uses the word decli--I mean, "decwime." :)

Vodka Logic said...

I love your students. ... so cute.

I will be the first to buy your book.

Brenda Susan said...

Haha! So cute, but I still like reading about them better than going back to teaching pre-school. I think I used up all my patience already.
Keep it up you amazing woman, and keep reporting!

Gigi said...

Oh Stanley! I bet Frank never saw you coming! "decwime" - it's an instant classic.

My kids went through a phase of responding "Duly Noted"

Stanley-speak I suppose.

Reminds me of this Dana Gould joke:

""I got mugged by a toddler. I was walking down an alley when someone grabbed me by the knee and said, "Don't scweam.""

Losing Brownies said...

That is so sweet!

J.J. in L.A. said...

I can see, as I type, Frank plotting his revenge for Stanley taking the spotlight away from him. ; )

Decwime...love it!

San Diego Momma said...

When I can't sink of anyfing to blog about?
I'm gonna haf to post Stanley's most astute decwime statement.
It's the best writer's block explanation ever.

The Empress said...

THAT belongs on a T shirt.

"I'm going to have to decwine"

Wonderful.

And appropriate for so many of life's occassions.

Pseudo said...

I'm tutoring 6th grade after school and having so much fun with those kids. After years teaching high school, they are just the cutest. Maybe not as cute as Stanley ; -)

unmitigated me said...

Maybe I left teaching too soon. Maybe I just needed to move to kindergarten...

Nah. but it sure is fun to read about.

Gaston Studio said...

I love Stanley! At least he had the balls to tell it like it is!

Everyday Goddess said...

That does it for me, it's decwiming from now on.
