A: I think you mean whipping cream.

M: (after listening to a long and not entirely coherent description of Phineas & Ferb) Are you pulling my leg?
B: (without missing a beat) No, but I can suck your toe all the way to Mexico.

A: GROSS (while watching a show about a confectioner dipping bugs in chocolate).
B: That's not gross, it's awesome. Cuz they make bugs TASTE GOOD!

B: Mom, I love your cooking.

R: Let's just stick with 'Your Majesty.'
A: 'Stick with?'
R: Start with.

R: Blake, was it embarrassing to have your mom be the Royal Reader?
B: Nope! Not at all!
The Royal Reader gets to wear a crown and cape and reads while holding a scepter, which is then used to call on children at the end.
Blake seemed to really enjoy having me there, and it was a ton of fun, though I have a renewed respect for kindergarten teachers. They get to teach these kids all about how to behave in school - some of the kids have never been in such a structured environment - and it is like herding cats while blindfolded and drunk. And the cats are drunk too (these ones had just had chocolate milk). GO TEACHERS!

I want to be the Royal Reader! Anything involving a crown, and I'm SO there. I had a girlfriend that wore a tiara when housecleaning, because it made the mundane tasks more enjoyable....
I love the idea of Royal Readers - I'll have to get my hands on the necessary props I suppose. Thanks for the teachers shout out! At least teaching first grade, they have a year of sitting criss cross under their belt. Shew. And FABULOUS evidence of an AWESOME wedding! Great posts!
Step aside, Rob...love the crown, Your Majesty!
This teacher appreciates the recognition! I just came back from a THREE DAY field trip with 48 7th graders... I kinda wish I had been blindfolded and drunk. Well, blindfolded at least.
