I teach 2-year-olds, and every day they say something that completely makes my day. But this one moment still has me laughing.
I was doing our usual little “get to know you” circle and asked one boy, “What’s your mommy’s name?” He smiled proudly and said, “Michelle.” Easy enough. Then I asked, “What’s your daddy’s name?”
He paused. His tiny eyebrows furrowed, and he looked deep in thought. After a few seconds of silence, I tried to help him out and asked, “Okay, what does Mommy call Daddy?”
I expected something simple — maybe “John” or “Honey.” But instead, he looked right at me with total seriousness and said, “Idiot.”
The whole class burst into laughter — even I couldn’t keep a straight face. Kids have no filter, and that’s what makes them so honest and hilarious.
Needless to say, I had to bite my lip the next time his mom dropped him off!
