It's washer. It's workin!

Kids at school say the weirdest things.

The title of the post comes from a boy every day. He plays in the kitchen and stuffs dress up clothes in the oven and runs to me yelling, "Mana! It's washer! IT'S WORKIN!"

I go by many different names at school: Miss Lana, Mih Yana. Wawa. Lala. Mala. Mana. Basically if they have the vowels right it's my name.

Today I had this conversation:
Sophia: I love Reece.
Me: Are you going to marry Reece when you grow up?
Sophia: No! I'm going to be a princess!
Me: Is Reece a prince?
Sophia: No! He's a dragonfly!
Me: Are you going to marry a prince?
Sophia: No. Ima be a princess all a my self!
Me: Are you going to be a mommy princess and have babies?
Sophia: No. My mom is a dragonfly princess. And I'm a butterfly!
Me: Are you going to marry a daddy?
Sophia: No. Daddy wants to be Josh Hamilton.
Me:....

My favorite little girl is half Filipino. She starts every sentence with "Hey!"
recent examples:

Hey! Look at my boots!
Hey! I want more water please!
Hey! I poop!
Hey! Look at my dress!

We have a big Nutcracker made of construction paper on the wall and when I explained that it was a Nutcracker, "Uhmcracker" the same girl said, "No! It's bubbles!"


Breakthrough. The boy who previously only called me Debbie called me Ma-ah today!
