“Today I had a pinkish-red booger that looked like a diamond. I showed a lot of people.”
–2nd grader
“Mom said my breath smells like donkey butt.”
–1st grader
“I tooted. Can you smell that?”
–2nd grader
“Do you need a tissue?” I asked.
“No,” she replied, and wiped her runny nose on her sleeve.
–3rd grader
“I can’t smell anything. You know why? ‘Cause I have such a snotty nose.”
–1st grader
“Guess what! I got my first wiggly top tooth!”

I love my job.
“That looks like the color of vomit.”
–1st grader, rejecting the colored pencil I offered
“Now I understand why they call it cutting the cheese.”
–flatulent 6th grader
“It had been in there a long time,” said the 9-year-old returning from a bathroom break, describing his stool in vivid detail.
“I don’t need to hear about that.”
