today in one of my classes, we were talking about the story "the king's new clothes." i was explaining to these fourth graders that the term "birthday suit" meant naked, like when you're born. and james, a pudgy kid who is perpetually sweating and flustered, says to the korean teacher "maybe if the mother eats clothes then the baby will be born with clothes." i thought that was pretty funny.
in another class full of my mega-smart kids, we were talking about college and jobs, so i asked "what do you call a person who studies insects? and a kid says, "an insector." ha ha.
