So there it is. You'll notice many of them are from a student named Wacey. He was a funny kid. Sometimes you'll just have a student like that who will make all kinds of funny comments at just the right moment. Ah, I miss it.

I love that; it's like an apartment quoteboard, but somehow it's even funnier that these junior high students said them. :) I think my favorite is: "We're all God's earthlings."
Most excellent indeed.
Oh, this brings back memories of our student teaching days! Middle schoolers are a riot, aren't they? Good times, good times.
Becca,
I am so glad you have a blog! Now I will be able to see all your cute pictures of your baby when he comes! I loved reading your post about Peter proposing too--that is so so cute!

Yay! Visitors! I don't think my blog has had this much traffic in the history of its existence. Thanks for commenting, ladies.
Beth, your apartment quote board when you lived in the little house still remains one of the best I've ever seen.
Lindsay #1, ah yes, student teaching days. I remember getting some good quotes from those kids too!
Lindsay #2, I'm excited to have a place to post pictures too. I love seeing the pictures of your boys on your blog. One of my recent favorites is Owen kissing the baby cow. Awww!
I wish I could find my list of quotes from students back when I was teaching. The best ones were about a female character being a "heroin" and Coleridge writing Kubla Khan because he had a "magical drug sleep."
I'm so excited to see that you're posting again! And I'm flattered to see that you've linked to my blog. Thanks! I'd better update that thing now.
