Yesterday's lesson plan called for me to read P.D. Eastman's Are You My Mother? to the kindergarteners. Which you'd think would be pretty low-key, right? It went almost without comment on Wednesday. Thus I was unprepared for an entire class to now think it's a hoot to come up to me and say, "Mrs. Rowland? Are you my mother?"

*snort*

I loved the snort part of the story as a kid.

I've had that experience too. It's one of those books that seems to incubate in their fertile little minds for a while, and then seemingly pop up out of nowhere :)

Whatever you do, don't read them Terry Pratchett's "Where's My Cow?" The possibilities are infinite, and you'll be hearing every one.

I don't believe I've read that one.

The short version is:

Where's my cow?
Is that my cow?
It says "Baa".
That is a sheep.
That is not my cow.

The full version is considerably more amusing and more of a self-parody than the actual children's book depicted, and worth checking out, although not necessarily worth what they charged for it. I still have fun quoting it out of context sometimes.

Where's my librarian?
Is that my librarian?
It says "*snort*".
Yes, that is my librarian!
My librarian snorted too hard and milk came out her nose.
I need a new librarian.
