"Thunder is my favorite kind of cloud."

"Look at my work of art!"

teacher : Does anyone know who Abraham Lincoln is?

4-year-old : Um… I think it's either Honey.. or Babe...

"This picture is for Jill. I have loved her for a billion days! I didn't love her the first day I played with her but then after that I loved her. Her class is on letter U and my class is on letter T, so she can teach me lots of things!"

The other day, as soon as I walked in the door, one of my students ran up to me excitedly. "Miss Kelle O! I found a very special paper for you today!" I barely had enough time to put my stuff down before the very special paper (which he had kept in his cubby all day) was forced into my hands.

He waited excitedly, with his hands folded and under his chin, bouncing on his toes slightly while I opened the paper to find that it was an El Pollo Loco receipt. "Do you love it?!" He shouted.

I really do love it, Michael. More than words can say. :)
