I taught 3rd grade last year and one of my students asked me, super loud, in the middle of everything, “When are we going to start learning about the SEXES?”

I said, “Learning about what?”

He said, ” You know, the SEXES!”

I said, “Can you tell me more about what you mean?”

He said, “Well, we’ve already learned the twos, threes, fours, and fives, and now it’s time for the sexes!”

Turns out he was asking when we were going to learn the SIXES multiplication table and was mispronouncing the word.

I sure was glad I had asked him for more information. :-)

I used to lead nature walks for kids, and I was teaching a group how to identify honey locust trees (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Honey_locust_thorns.jpg) when one 10-year-old asked me if the honey locust was the tree they used to make Jesus’s crown of thorns.

My response: “Mmm, no, I’m pretty sure honey locusts aren’t found in the Middle East.”

my son: Is your belly button the doorway to your tummy?
me: No, your mouth is. You eat food and then it goes into your tummy.
my son: Did you eat me, mama?
me: No sweetie. (I know where this is leading now…)
my son: How did I get in your tummy?
me: Well you weren’t really in my tummy. You were in my uterus, which is inside, near to my tummy.
my daughter: What’s a uterus?
my son: It’s where babies grow.
my daughter: How did I get in your uterus?
me: You were a little teeny, tiny, little egg and you grew.
my daughter: How did I get out?
me: (Pause)...Well because I had two babies, the doctor cut me open right here and pulled you out.

Silence…

The weirdest question that I’ve ever heard from a kid came from my own son. He asked me “How does it feel to die?”. I ended up asking him 2 questions. I asked him “To the best of your knowledge, have I ever died?” The reply, “No,” 2nd question, “Then if I haven’t died yet, how would I know?” His response was so sweet. His answer was, “Because you’re my mother and you know everything. You know more than Daddy does.” I could not tell him the answer because I do not know. It’s a hard one to answer.
