Kids say the darndest things

These are from Judy's blog. I don't know if she got them from Art Linkletter's book or not (she doesn't say), but some of them sure sound familiar. Enjoy!


Teacher: Maria, go to the map and find North America.
Maria: Here it is.

John: You told me to do it without using tables.
