There is a set of five-year-old identical twins (D & G) at my school who just say the most interesting things in the world! This is why I love my job...
D: I can’t draw a picture of a fish eating a cat because cats are WONDERFUL and they would bite a fish on the tail.
D: My bird is sad. Someone stole his egg.
Me: Who did that?
D: An old scary lady climbed up the tree and took it from his nest while he was sitting on it.
G: But my bird came and killed the lady! My bird is the Mama of all birds.
G: Do you like Michael Jackson?
Me: Yes, I do.
G: (Pointing at a picture of Karen) She looks just like Michael Jackson. Ms. Karen looks like Michael Jackson!
D: We dance like Michael Jackson all the time.
D: When I been crying, I look like a wee-wee.
Me: What's a wee-wee?
D: You know, a cry baby!
Story by G:
Never find poisonous turtles on a rock beach. Never bother them when they eat lettuce pets. Put them on the beach carefully. Never touch them on the mouth. They might bite you. Never, ever touch it again on the rocky beach. This is the long poisonous neck - it can sting you. The head is white-green. If you try to find one, you can show your mom. Put it in a bag, but very carefully.
And my favorite; after staring at my for a minute or two and tilting her head back and forth, G said, "Your eyelashes are pretty. But you should polish them. Probably red or blue or purple." Then, she ran away...
