“What does pre-cipitate mean?”

Teacher: “Is that in your maths somewhere?”

“No! It’s just a word I found in my head and I wanted to know what it means!”

. “Oh … I drew my dad a bit too fat. Then again, I guess he is, if you think about it.”

. “He was chasing me in tag and I didn’t look where I was going, so I hit my head on a pole in the playground. I had a big egg on my forehead. But it was so romantic.”

. “Look guys, I brought my pet to school. She’s Helena and you can ride her.”

Me: “If having a piggy-back on me makes me your pet, does that mean that when you wear a backpack, you’re the backpack’s pet?”

“Yep.”

“It sounds like you’ve thought about that before.”

“I have. I think about everything.”

. “I threw butter, and I found out butter flies.”

. “They should make left handed cups.”

. "Big people don’t get sad.”

. “How much pencils do you got?” (let’s just say that farm kids aren’t too concerned about grammar)

. "Did you know glitter makes everything good?"

. "That little kid’s really annoying! Don’t make eye contact. He’s always riding his bike around and wanting to do something. Oh … that sounds like me … but he’s much littler and much more annoying.”

. “My mum told me that if anyone annoys me, I should just punch them.”

. “I just thinked up a genius plan.”

. “Imagine if it rained carrots. That would be painful.”
