Conversations with Children: Preschool Edition

Scene: Lunchtime with preschoolers.

Preschooler A: Why do they have that lunch (i.e. school lunch)?
Miss M: Because some kids bring lunch from home and some kids buy lunch from the school cafeteria.
Preschooler S: I want that lunch.
Miss M: Well it's up to your moms and dads. They decide what you have for lunch.
Preschooler H: AND JESUS.
Miss M: side eye to me Um...really just your mom and dad choose your lunch.
Preschooler H: Yep. And Jesus. He made the trees and the camels and lunch.
Miss M: Take another bite Preschooler H.

  1. Here's my convo with a 2 yr old girl today...

    Me: Hey L, what do you have there?
    L: A rock!
    Me: Where did you find it?
    L: On the ground
    Me: But where on the ground?
    L: Over by the caterpillar
    Me (clearly provoking): What if the caterpillar needed it? What if that was his bed?
    L: It was his crib!
    Me: Where's he going to sleep now?
    L: He can sleep in my crib.
    Me: How's he going to get there?
    L: (blank stare)
    Me: How's he going to get into your crib?
    L [while never breaking eye contact]: He can go in my crib...and then I'll get picked up...like superman...
