This morning a kindergartener came into drama class very loudly and said "Have you seen my sister today?" The following is a transcript of our transcript of our conversation. (Yes, I took notes)
Me: No, Why?
Girl: She was bit by a dragon.
Me: What?
Girl: A dragon, a dragon bit her right on the hand. (motions to her hand)
Me: Where?
Girl: On her hand!
Me: No, Where did this happen?
Girl: In her bed.
Me: When?
Girl: Tomorrow.
Me: Tomorrow? It hasn't happened yet?
Girl: No, it happened tomorrow, when she was sleeping.
Me: Why?
Girl: He was mad. He came in the window and he bit her.
Me: What did he look like?
Girl: He was red and bleedy.
Me: So, you saw him?
Girl: Yes, the whole family saw him and we had to run away.
Random Boy: I saw him too!
Me: How?
Random Boy: I live in that apartment.
Girl: He does, but the dragon just went away after he bit her. I guess he was just mad.
Me: OK....let's take attendance, shall we?
See what happens when you teach kids to use their imagination? Lies, lies, lies.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I hope my kids have imaginations like that! :-)
