Kids Say the Darndest Things!

Mind you, these are 8th graders I'm talking about.  And all these things actually came out of their mouths today on my first day in the classroom...  :)

"Ms. Jackson, are you Mexican?" (I did not tell my students I spoke Spanish, but after pronouncing several students' names perfectly one girl yelled that out.)

"Where did you go to school?"
"I went to BYU."
"Oh, isn't that a Christian school?  I'm Christian, too!"
...overheard some profanities and the same student yells, "Shut up, she's Christian!  She don't appreciate that!"

"Ms. Jackson, are you nice?"
"What do you think?"
"I'll let you know tomorrow."

And here's to looking forward to tomorrow...I wonder what the verdict is!
