Overheard on the playground

Spoken by a first grader and a Kindergarten whose casual manner shows that they CLEARLY do not yet know the cultural significance of moms and dogs.

"There's my mom."
"That's your dog?"
"No! That's my mom!"

At my school.
me: Lucille, finish this sentence: 'I was this tall when I...'
Lucilee:had no heart

(More acurate would be "I was this tall when I was totally fixated on the fact that Jessy wouldn't draw a heart for me.)

And
Arianna: He takes off all of the clothes and then he leaves me.

(difficulty in English tenses as Arianna tries to describe what NĂ¼ri did when playing Barbie.)
