Compliments and Criticisms

I have decided to compile a short list of the comments that my kids make to me. In my first grade classes yesterday I had the kids make sentences with adjectives; this inspired a number of the comments below.

"You are handsome"

"Thank you. You are a handsome guy" Paul likes to tell me this every time I chide him for talking in class. He believes that such words of flattery will save him from punishment. Sometimes they certainly make me smile.

"Tiffany is pretty"

"Tiffany is thin"

"You are smart" I spotted this little boy trying to surreptitiously pull something out of his pocket.

One little girl told her mom that I had big eyes like a princess.

"Bad Tiffany"

"You are dirty!"

"You smell"

Its good to know that my kids are progressing so well in their English :)
