Kids say the darndest things: #2

kid: I had a real bad day today.
me: I wonder what made it so bad.
kid: I ran into a wall and it was really REALLY hard.
me: I bet it was (laughs)...that sounds like a bad day to me.
kid: (laughs) yep.

(one of the kids was singing Bootylicious by Destiny's Child as we walked down the hall)
kid: "I don't think you're ready for this jelly..."
me: what is she talking about in that song? what's jelly?
kid: (looks behind my back and points) That right there, your booty! You got jelly...for a white girl.
me: (uncertain if that was a compliment or not...) Is jelly a good thing?
kid: (laughs) yeah, as long as you shake it!
me: (laughs) well alright...

kid: my cousin say he don't believe in Santa no more.
me: you look upset about that.
kid: yep, but my momma said don't worry about it. She say kids who don't believe in Santa get broken toys for Christmas.
me: broken toys...
kid: yep, broken toys or nothin'.
me: I bet YOU still believe in Santa.
kid: sure do
