We were having a discussion about what we could buy with a million dollars...

Lee: I would buy a bunch of color laser printers so I could make illegal money and buy more stuff!

(Note: ahhhhh, an entrepreneur!)

Apparently, a small girl has been bothering one of the boys every time I look away. The strain must have built up...

Jax: (loudly, to his tormentor) You're a BEAST!!!!

I use a lot of pet names with my students...

Mrs. B: (to one sweet little girl who is taking a long time to put away her things) Okay, little princess, I need you to clean up now.

Summer: (with great skepticism) Are you SURE she's a princess?

Kaylee: Mrs. B, my sister told me she'd give me ten bucks for cleaning her room. But when I cleaned it, she just went, "ha, ha, sucker!"

Mrs. B: Oh, honey, I'm sorry! (pause, thinking) Do you believe every thing people tell you?

Kaylee: Well, not anymore!

Reed: I don't feel like being here right now.

Mrs. B: Neither do I, but what can you do?

Reed: (gesturing out the window) Well, there's a great big playground right out there!

Mrs. B: (noticing that two boys are under their desks and no longer paying attention in math class) What are you two doing?

Clayton: We're lookin' for my tooth.

Mrs. B: Your tooth?

Clayton: Yeah, it flew out like Superman!

Mrs. B: (to the class) Are you ready to listen?

Reed: I was born ready!

(I know this statement isn't all that original but you have to understand how hilarious it is coming out of the mouth of an eight year old.)

(Speaking of original, one of the funny quotes my kids said last year turned up as a line on Glee this week. Hmmm...)
