The morning after two snow days is always full of animated discussions.
I was talking to a precocious boy in our class named Luke, who has been a bit neglected here this year. Until today.
“I could hardly get up my driveway yesterday after all that ice!" I was telling my paraprofessional. "It reminded me of when I was stuck in Washington, DC last year!”
I heard a voice at my elbow. It was Luke.
“Hey! I used to live in Washington, DC!”
“Luke, I remember your mom telling me you were born here! Were you maybe in your mommy’s belly when you lived there?”
“Naw,” he said, shaking his head, “I was just a sperm them. A very slow sperm going towards the egg.”
And that is how you go from snow to sperm in 9.3 seconds.
Let’s see Jimmy Johnson do THAT.

I am laughing. . . my face is red. . no purple. . must have air!
You get to be a part of the best part of life, my friend.
I think that is the best story.
Frank really has competition now!
Where has Luke been all my life?
OK, now you've hooked us. More Luke stories, please!
Hahaha...that's hilarious. These stories crack me up! So listen, I'm personal friends with Kyle Petty and I'm going to check that fact out, ok?
Oh my hell!! That's priceless!!! I'm a little sad now, knowing that my first day back tomorrow, after two snow days of our own, is not going to be NEARLY as exciting. :(
I like Luke A LOT !
5 year olds used to buy talking about the Stork bringing babies, or finding one under a cabbage leaf. I think maybe we're getting just a teensy, tiny, little bit too open with our kids! :)
Oh, that was good. Well I guess slow and steady wins the race after all!
Peeing...my...pants!! :-O
Just when I thought you couldn't make me laugh any harder...
Seriously??? Do you have a class-ful of them that spit out these gems??
Of course you do - they are kindergartners; they are priceless.
a very slow sperm...self esteem issues there?
OK. At some point, we have to look at the teacher here. I haven't decided whether you bring out the best or the worst in them. It doesn't matter. If it weren't for you and your class, my life would be incredibly boring!!
Classic Little Kid talk! And you know, he's right?
But still....
Frank, Suzy, George...now Luke? This just keeps getting better and better.
My 8yo takes great delight in being the first sperm to the egg. Probably because it's the only race she's ever won! (But clearly the most important race of all!).

I think you should wrap up all this year's posts and put them in a time capsule for this group of kids to read at their college graduations :-)

LOL!!!!!
OH MY GOSH.
LOL, thank you for my First Morning Laugh !
besos. Have a good weekend .
That is the supreme reply.
xoxoxox, heifer.
oh jeeze, did someone tell him he was a slow sperm???
Luke, my new favorite!
Oh yeah.... VOTED!! You're tied for 49th.
Oh MY!!! This is AWESOME!!!
OMG what a riot.. you have a great class this year.
Wonder what Frank would have had to add to that conversation.
Where in the H do they get this stuff in kindergarten?
Wow, Luke knows a lot about sperm!!
OMG!! Wonder what the conversations around his dinner table are like???
Oh, my. This brings back memories from teaching kindergarten. Fresh out of college, my first teaching job was at a private, Catholic school. During circle time one little girl was rubbing herself in the nether regions. I quietly asked if she needed to go to the bathroom. "No, I'm just scratching my vagina." LOUDLY. This from a girl whose mom was a stripper.
Bahahahaha!
HILARIOUS!
I am so glad you have Share-n-Tell with *us*! I love all your stories.
=-)
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOVE IT!
Priceless.
Seriously?? I thought the early bird gets the worm. That was one determined sperm. I'd love to know how his mom explained that to him. It's like the gossip game. She probably started out telling him the facts of life and he looked it up on a map.
He does understand that the sperm was only *half* of him, right...?
I didn't even know you could get from snow to sperm, let alone in 9.3 seconds!
That would be quote of the day in my classroom. Quote of the week.
xoxoxo
Wow. Smart kid. May my kids never be that smart.
