Like a Rubbermaid

I love all my kids, but the ones in Grade 6 are really something! There are only three—one is very quiet and doesn’t really say anything unless she needs help with something, but the other two make up for her and about ten other kids! Most of these quotes are conversations between the other two kids, a boy and a girl, who are masters at squabbling; shortly after the majority of these statements, arguments broke out…especially about Thor…ain’t nobody gonna mess with my superhero! J

-“Miss Nutt, I forgot how to spell my last name!”

My crazy Grade 6 ESL class (the boy in the blue shirt doesn't
go to our school anymore).


-[I had asked the kids about the movie that was shown at the Meeting House—they are completely disgusted and horrified by any little tiny bit of romance…although I highly doubt anyone was actually kissing!]
“We were surrounded by love people—they were kissing!”

-“I decided I don’t want to be a teenager anymore.”
“Well, how are you going to stop being one? Lock yourself in the bathroom?!”

-[I love it when the light bulb comes on!]
“Sometimes I can’t read my own handwriting!”
“What do you think that means?”
“Well…maybe I should write clearer…”

-[We had somehow gotten on the topic of wolves—I have a theory that these kids get together and discuss how they can get Miss Nutt off topic and down a rabbit trail! Also, everything in life is comparable to a movie.]
“There are wolves in Twilight.”
“No, those are baby wolves. I’m talking about big, buff wolves.”

-[One of the grade 6 girls loves Thor, and the boy loves to tease her about him and the other Avengers. Note, I have no idea what the second line actually means…but it’s pretty funny!]
“I’ll kill them all!” [talking about the Avengers]
“They’d beat you up like a Rubbermaid!”
