Kids say the darnedest things...

So, I've found that I don't have too much going on in my life that is blog-worthy, as I do most of my personal writing in my journal - and that not for public consumption. However, I realized that I do have some pretty cute kid anecdotes, so I will begin relaying those here.

About a month ago on a crisp but sunny Friday morning I met my first class of the day - Ms. Davidson's 1st grade - and had just seated them after the pledge of allegiance when one little girl (smart as a whip, and not shy of saying just about whatever is on her mind) piped up with a gasp, "You got skinny!!"
Her exclamation took me a bit by surprise, but I realized that, since that morning was not as cold as it had previously been, I was not wearing my favorite chunky sweater that I had used as a jacket and worn pretty much daily over the past month or so. This sweater may have been the culprit that led to her misconception - at least, I hope so.
Anyway, I think I said something to the effect of, "I did?" and the little girl (hereafter referred to as "Y") replied,
"Yeah! You had a baby and it popped out!"
I couldn't help but laugh, but at the same time I wondered if I should be a bit offended? I then said that, no, in fact I had not had a baby, and was never pregnant, and pointed out to her gently that if you're not sure about whether or not someone is pregnant, you should probably refrain from telling them you think they are - or were. She looked a little taken aback, but I figured it was okay for her to hear that from me, who was not offended, than from someone who might have been, were she to say the same thing to them in the future.
Y didn't have much time to think too hard about this, though, because another student chimed in loudly, "No, she wasn't pregnant, because she's not even married!"
I then, of course, had to correct her and say, "Actually, I AM married," to which the entire class cried, "EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!"
Ah, kids...
