From my Facebook memories:

1st Grader: Sometimes when I lose my tooth, I have to wait to get the money from the tooth fairy until my mom's next payday.
3rd Grader: Yeah, because the tooth fairy isn't real.
1st Grader: No, because the tooth fairy has the same payday as my mom.

Me: okay everyone fold the top of your page over like this so we remember what chapter we’re on for next time

3rd grader: we’re not supposed to do that with books

Me: well they’re my books and I don’t mind so go ahead

3rd g: I can’t. The police might come for me

Sometimes, when addressing a class, I go, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." It's funny to me to quote Shakespeare to kindergarteners.

Then I overheard another teacher address the class, saying, "Friends!" And a kid told her, "Don't forget Romans and countrymen!"
