Adventures in Subbing

I find myself in kindergarten again. It is the most fertile ground for kid humor, I've found. Today there were definite religious overtones to these overheards:

Boy: I have superpowers, you know.

Girl at his table: There are only two people who have super powers. Santa Claus and God.

Me: What about the Easter Bunny?

Girl: Oh, yeah, him too.

Two Girls approached me at playtime:

Girl #1--We were playing with--

Girl #2--With the dollies and--

Girl #1--And the little blender thingie, you know, with all the little teeny tiny white balls in it--

Girl #2--We didn't DO it--

Girl #1--Yeah, well, the TOP came unglued and--

Girl #2--WE didn't do it! But the balls came out and they're all--

Girl #1--(gesturing wildly) All over the FLOOR!

Girl #2--But WE DIDN'T--

Girl #1--Someone else DID it, but we just--

Girl #2--Yeah, we just FOUND it--

Girl #1--We think maybe Jesus did it.

Yep, that's my motto. When in doubt, blame. . . Jesus? Then again, I suppose that's not unheard of.
