Something Fishy

Kindergartner: I ate a fish Ms. O... It was alive.
Me: Is it swimming in your tummy now?
Kindergartner: No. It's swimming to my brain.
Me: Why is it going to your brain?
Kindergartner: So it can teach me bad words. Bad words are good.

... Then I try to convince him that bad words are bad, and good words are good. He was not interested.

Me: That's not my concern. Put it away.
7th Grade Boy: So far the only thing I like about you is yo' clothes!

...Uhh, okay.
