I love how children will repeat what I tell them too..
OH the power I wield in my hands. SOME people my be happy running a country or deciding on budgets, but ME? I'd rather be in charge of what children do and say. It is much, much funnier.
"Children..when Mr.Juan comes in, hide behind your fingers. It will make you invisible."
He enters the room and pauses. All 9 of my children (and myself) are giggling and holding their fingers in front of their noses, amazed at this new superhuman power that I have given to them
He stares, knowing that we are doing SOMEthing...he just doesn't know what.
"He can't see us kids! see? our fingers make us invisible" I repeat.
"OH! My gosh. where IS mrs. Beanie and those kids!" and he walks out.

We sit in circle time. Our legs folded and our hands resting in our laps. I am reading to them and they are avidly listening. These kids love stories.
A fly lands on one child's head. He waves his hands about.
It lands on another child's nose. He waves his arm and scowls at the slooooowly buzzing fly.
I am losing their attention, and it PISSES me off. So I pick up a thin book and scowl at the fly. I stalk it and hold my breath. WHACK!!! .... the fly is dead. I scoop it into a cup to feed our ants later, and the children exclaim "WOW! Did you just see Ms. Beanie!!! How did you DO that!"
"I, children, went to a super ninja fly killing school....it's very exclusive. When you grow up. maybe you can go too."
They sit and stare at me. One whispered to the other "When I get big Imma go to that ninja fly school too!"

"Mrs. Beanie, why do you call me gorgeous face?"
"Well...ummm...cuz you are cute?"
"I am?"
"Uh...yeah!! Didn't you know?"
he smiles
The next day when he walks in 10 kids sing loudly "Goodmorning gorgeous face!!" His mom smiles.
