Kids say the funniest things.

My daughter teaches 2nd grade in Missouri. Today they watched a video about selling magazines and what prizes they could win and earn money for their school and such as that.
Kaleena, (my daughter) had on a jelly type light up ring the kids could win if they sold enough magazines.
They watched the video and after it was over and the lights were still off, Kaleena touched her ring and it lit up and flashed or whatever it did.
One little girl said where did you get that ring? Kaleena said the man gave it to her to show them they could get one too. The little girl said : I am sooooo going to be a teacher, there's no doubt about it." Kaleena about cracked up.
I guess when you are in 2nd grade a good reason to teach is all the free bling.
A few weeks ago one little boy asked her how come she never had to do any work. Kaleena asked him what he meant. He said the kids do all the work, as in work sheets, writing and all that. She patiently explained to him that she grades ALL of their papers, plans the lessons, teaches and on and on and that she does indeed work.
Kids are so funny.
