Overheard in my classroom

"Why do you think Betsy Ross did that? Let's go ask the teacher. That was back in her time."

"If you get me a Valentine, I'll get you one. And not one of those dumb ones either. A nice one."

"Did Jesus die to save our sins?"
"No, he's just God's only begotten son."

"Can we please have a party tomorrow? I know we haven't been good but we'll be good if we have a party."

"I have to go get my visual and audio checked in the nurse's office."

"What does achieve mean? Please don't tell me to look it up in the dictionary."

"Can I get on the internets?"*


*I swear a child, not President Bush said this.
