Horny and more (now that I have you intrigued, you will read!)

I think we all are always in need of a laugh; and well we know that kids seem to pull out some of the best lines, so try this one! My co-worker and I were supervising our kids in the cafeteria while they were eating. She walked by a table of our students and heard one of our normally well-behaved kids say, "I'm not horny!" After the shock of hearing a fifth grader say that, she proceeded with the protocol lecture of what is and isn't appropriate to talk about at school and as a fifth grader. As she halfway through her lecture, she notices the look of absolute bewilderment on his face. She then decides to ask him why he was saying that phrase, to which he replied, "They told me I look like I have horns."

Want another one? Last year, during reading time, one of my girls had her hand raised. She was reading a book about plankton and other microscopic creatures. She didn't understand the paragraph or know all the words. I pronounced phytoplankton for her and she proceeded to read the rest of the paragraph out loud to me. Everything was fine until she got to the parenthesis which said (tiny sea organisms). You can only imagine my shock when what should come out of her sweet mouth but, "tiny sea orgasms." Yes, that is what she said. If you don't get it reread it to make sure you got it right. To my horror, she continued on to read, "These tiny little orgasms....." I finally was able to compose a sentence after using all my energy not to show a terrified look on my face and alarm her. I told her the word was organism, and she of course had one more slip, but after that it was smooth sailing. My praise in both of these situations is that neither one of these two precious children had any clue what they were saying. Praise the lord they still have innocence.
