Fifth grade Funnies

I wrote down a couple of quotes this week from my fifth graders. Ya know, for my book. (Not really, but that's what I told my kiddos when they asked why I was writing them down.). Too funny not to share...

1). we were talking about U.S. territories and I was making the point that we still have some of them and others are now ruled by other countries. We were looking at a map, and a little boy asked, Mrs. Angie, did the Girl Scouts start in American Samoa, 'cause you know, they've got that cookie?"

2.). I really don't know how this conversation got started, but we were talking about things that seemed impossible. A student asked me if anything was impossible, and when I told him that truthfully, some things were, he said, "Yeah, like stapling water to a tree!"

Just wanted to remember these, so I thought I'd share.
