When children was ask to write about the ocean this is what they wrote.
1. This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, age 6 )
2. Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6)
3. If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Mike, age 7)
4. Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6)
5. A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8)
6. My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6)
7. When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7)
8. Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen, age 6)
9. I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6)
10. Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers. (Christopher, age 7)
11. When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. ( Kevin , age 6)
12. Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. ( Becky , age 8)
13. On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her big fat ass. (Julie, age 7)
14. The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know. (Bobby, age 6)
15. My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7)
Welcome to my little corner of the world where you never know what you will find! It could be anything from a joke to a funny picture to a personal rant to a favorite recipe to an awesome quote to any random "bright idea" that pops into my mind.

Gosh, Cat, I love this post! There are parts of teaching that I do not miss at all. I love my job right now. But there are the times when you got to peek into a child's perception of the world and felt you were the luckiest person in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think I loved the electric eels the best.
Hugs,

We used to have a TV show called "Children say the darndest things"...absolutely love hearing what comes out of kids mouths.
DeleteI now have a picture in my head of many caves in the ocean floor with electric outlets lining the walls. ;)
