Kids say the darndest things.....

First day of school and a student I had last year, but disappeared mid year is back in my class. She walks in and says at the top of her lungs: MISS, YOU GOT MAD SKINNY! A bunch of heads turn and I imagined the kids who did not know me were like...HTH fat was she before. LOL

Yes I am thinner, but SKINNY....Not yet. Was nice she noticed, just wish it wasn't a school wide announcement!

(This is 10th grader)

That is funny, MadSkinneyTracy (I think you need to change your user name!)

and slightly better than my grandson who is only 3. He keeps wanting me to take bites of his food and since I'm on the liquid diet, I can't. So, I finally explained that the doctor says right now I can't have real food because my tummy is too big. He said he knew it was and then asked, "did he tell you about your face, too, Grammy?"

I didn't have the courage to ask what he thinks the doc needs to tell me about my face. Is it too fat? Too ugly? what....don't think I really want to know!

Two positive things to that little comment:

#1 - He isn't a 10th grader

#2 - He also tells me every time he sees me, "Grammy, you're the BEST!" So, I can overlook whatever he thinks is wrong with my face!

LOL! I love that! My kids just keep asking when I'm gonna eat less and lose some weight. Duh I've already lost 20 pounds.

This is too funny! I teach 11th grade English, and I was banded a week ago today. I have been very upfront with my kids and fellow faculty, because I am very comfortable with this school...they are like family and everyone is super supportive and happy for me. But, I kind of had to tell the kids because at first I only told them I was going to be out for a procedure...you can only imagine what they thought of. Before I knew it I was going in for a boob job, or "having the surgery that makes you not have babies anymore!" I had to squash the rumor mill that is the high school hallway! This job never ceases to amaze me. I always come home with funny stories! Congrats "Miss Mad Skinny!"

Kids are funny and not necessarily young ones. We were discussing how great it will be down the track when i have lost more weight and my 20 year old pipes up and says, "i don't want a MILF for a mum." I was also telling my mother about this while we were in the hospital (for her) and she asked me what a MILF is and the young nurse who was walking by just about choked, it was funny.

Amanda, I told my classes the same thing last year (just a procedure) and when I lost a little weight I had on a new bra, they were convinced I had a boob job. I just laughed. I did eventually tell a few kids who I felt close too.

If parents ever knew half the crap kids tell us about home, they would die!

LOL! That is too funny!

well I teach at a different school and a different grade level and I was eating a snack and one of the 7th graders asked, "why you eat so healthy?" I told them I was working on my weight and I had lost 62lbs in the last 7 months. They said wow, you must have weighed like 300 lbs! I laughed...never have I weighed that much at my highest 260 and I am now in onederland. But I laughed it off but sure was thinking...he must really think I am huge now:)

I haven't told this staff because it was not necessary. They didnt know me prior anyways. My previous school though knew. I was shrinking before their eyes.
