Comedy gold!

Today at the suggestion from a parent, I set up a notebook in which my student can now "tell" on someone rather than come tell me every little bitty thing that happens that they don't like. It's titled "The Telling Book" and is located in a central location in the classroom. I told them, if what they need to tell me doesn't involve hitting, kicking, bad words or blood, they are to write it in the book. And that they do, albeit phonetically. However, I'm translating, and I think by the end of the year I'll have enough for a book which I will then publish and market (ha! I think to most people it would be hopelessly boring, but the earnestness of the students cracks me up). A couple of today's gems:

"C made a mean face at me."

"E coughed on me."

"Z called me a dino-wup." (This one I asked for clarification, and "dino-wup" was the best I could get out of what the alleged name was.)
