Small Children are Hilarious

First-graders are honestly the funniest people on the planet. The other day, I was reading The Brand New Kid to a class of first-graders and discussing how sometimes we are mean to people because they are different. The "brand new kid" in the story is made fun of because he talks funny, so I said to these Central New Yorkers, "You all have probably noticed that I talk funny -- I am from Pittsburgh, PA and I say some of my words differently than you do. Actually, I think YOU all sound kind of funny!" Then one student volunteered, "Yeah, you talk like a boy." What?!?
