The Sunday Funnies

On the way to swim team last week, Jay was telling me about her escapades in Drama class.

Each day her teacher has a prompt up on the board that is meant to get them thinking--its called a "sparkplug". Then they go around their circle and a few kids are able to share their thoughts.

On Thursday the Sparkplug was, "think of a person or moment that has changed your life".

One of Jordyn's good friends shared a story about her aunt's battle with breast cancer. She told about how her aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. How it was a struggle to watch her battle with the disease. How she eventually had to have one of her breasts removed and then followed that up with some chemotherapy and her hair fell out {but it grew back}.

At that point, Jordyn said, out loud to the entire class "You mean they grow back?"

{Jordyn had missed the chemo/hair loss part of the story and thought her friend said that her Aunt's breast was removed but it grew back.}

I laughed. Savvy laughed. Jay informed us that her entire class laughed..including the teacher.

Then Aussie, who had been pretty quiet in the backseat asked, "Why is this so funny? What's a breast?"

And that my friends, is another story for another day.

I just had to email this post to Zach and here is his comment:

"oh my crap that is funny. haha. I can only hope that Franky can provide us with a fraction of the quotes that Austin says."

Ditto, honey. Di-tto.

Oh my word- that's funny- both kids are funny. I bet the teacher was dying laughing.

Wouldn't it be nice if they grew back? Or just plumped back up? That would be great.

Just tell him it's meat on a chicken and that is all his young mind needs to know for now :)
