OH BOY BROCCOLI!!!!!!!

My cats LOVE broccoli!  LOL

Colt and I were eating our Hong Kong Express Chinese Dinner and Ghost, Colt's cat got up on my table and begin eating my broccoli.  The plate was sitting on the table unsupervised and Colt was cleaning up.  He said, "Hey, what is going on down there?  What are we eating?  Is it broccoli?"  When I got up to see it I laughed hysterically, seeing on the cats surrounding something, responding, "YES!"  ALL three cats were biting at my hands as I picked the broccoli up off of the floor and put in on my plate again. 

TOO CUTE!  I WISH I COULD HAVE MANAGED A PICTURE...IT JUST ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY!

Kids say the darndest things....

Today in one of my many interesting, humor-filled, crazy kid encounters I was nearly knocked off my feet.

Here is the conversation that took place:

Student 1: Mrs. Clemens, do you have some scissors for me to cut this
string off my pants? (hem was completely ripped from bottom of pants)
 

Me: (With a quizzical look on my face) Well, I do have scissors, but you aren't cutting your clothes in my class. 

Student 2: Oh. That's called prostitution! 

Me:(Whipping my head around more quickly than I knew could happen) Excuse me?

Student 2: That's what they said about this girl on the t.v. the other
night with rips all in her clothes!

Me: No that is not called prostitution.  Do you know what prostitution means? 

Student 2: Um, someone with holey clothes? You know rips and stuff all in 'em?!

Me: Nope, not at all.  Go ahead and wait in the hall for me.

(Student 2 was very embarrassed at the choice of words and has promised to think before they speak out like that again.  

ME: NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WORD MEANS, LET'S MAKE A DEAL....THAT YOU WON'T TRY OUT NEW VOCABULARY WITHOUT FIRST SPEAKING TO AN ADULT ABOUT IT.  DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN?

STUDENT 2:  OOOOOOOHHHHHH!   YES MA'AM!  SORRY, MRS. CLEMENS!  (Grinning went back into the class and was quiet for the rest of the day! :)

OH the joys of my adolescents!  Just can't help but love them.  :)
