Funny Things Teachers Say

Students say funny things every day in my classroom.  But you know what, I find myself saying a lot of funny things in response to the odd and gross things my kids do all the time! Throughout the day, I often wonder if there are other professions that say some of the ridiculous things I find myself saying to my students.  But really, I can't imagine my husband having to tell a colleague to chewing his shirt because he's not a goat.  I have said this on a weekly basis this year…promise!

I asked the teachers in my Facebook Group about some of the crazy things they've said over the years.  I was in tears laughing as they shared their funny conversations.

  1. We had to tell a child to take the underwear off of his head as it wasn’t a hat. He found the extra set of clothes in his book bag. The kids laughed and we lost. Lol.

  2. During a tornado lockdown yesterday, my class was in their safe space, which is a large teachers’ bathroom. All 10 of us were sitting with our backs against the wall using iPads and one of my boys, without anybody noticing, stood up and peed in the teachers toilet in front of everybody! I said, “What are you doing peeing in the toilet? You don’t Pee in front of other people. These girls or not your sisters or your mom! My straight laced gifted boy thought nothing of it and just zipped his shorts and went back to his iPad. We all laughed and no one seemed to care!
