My wife is a second grade teacher and seems to come home every day with a funny story from her "kids." Recently her kids were working on grammar and one of the exercises has the students fill in parts of speech on a worksheet. Noun, noun, noun, adjective-noun, etc.
The following is an exact copy of the assignment submitted by one of her students. She assured me that he is completely innocent and does not have any weird fixations, but something about his writing really leaves me wondering. I don't know, maybe I'm weird, but there is something amiss here. I'll let you guys decide.

The child shall remain nameless, but I bet his parents won't be hanging that one on the fridge. I noticed he forgot screwballs. I will have to pass that on to him if I ever get to meet him. I probably won't shake his hand though...
I got a case of the Church Giggles when I first read my student's "poem" (where you're laughing when you're not supposed to and that makes you laugh even harder) and a case of the Laugh-Out-Louds when I read this post. Teaching provides endless comedic entertainment...
ReplyDeleteWhen our child was in school we had a parent-teacher meeting that showcased a "mask" that he sculpted. This mask had his teacher "very concerned". His father and I still laugh about it to this day, but our son, not so much.
ReplyDeletep.s. The student may be headed for stardom look what it did for Alec Baldwin i.e. "sweaty balls".
Think that kid may be a little light in the loafers. Just sayin!
ReplyDeleteI believe we have identified a future Longhorn QB!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny...
ReplyDeleteOh man. Nice call Dad, I said he would go nameless, but now that you mention it, his name is Colt.
