beeeeeaaaaarrrs eeeaaaaaat meeeaaaaaaat

My kids made me laugh the other day. You might think, teaching kindergarten, that I would be laughing all day long. However, when it's just your life, you tend to get a little desensitized to the funny stuff.

So, a group of kids was reading together on the carpet, and they all started reading a class book we made in unison. In a ghost voice.

Beeeeeaaaaarrrrs eeeaaaat beeeeerrrriiieeessssss. Beeeeaaaaarrs eeeeaaaaat buuuuuuuuugsssss.

I don't know why it struck me as so funny, out of all the things they do every day. Maybe I was just happy that they were reading out loud independently. Maybe it was because they were cooperating. Or maybe it was just so genuinely weird. Ghost voices? Whose idea was that, anyway.

I like them.
Also, they voted to title the book Bears Eat Different Kinds of Things.
