ASP Fourth Graders Say the Darndest Things

Me, asking my fourth grader, Fernando: "Can you use the word REBELLION in a sentence?"
Fernando: "Ummm. . .yeah. . .like the hippies' rebellion!"
(What?!?!)

Giancarlo (in his country presentation on Hungary): "And this is a picture of the king of Hungary, though some people say that he is the king of the vampires."

Me, to my fourth grader Carlos: "Nope, it's a red light right now, you can't enter the classroom."
Carlos: "Oh, but Miss Johnson, I'm Mexican! We pass all the red lights ANYWAY!"
