Kids say the darnest things

Yesterday I spent the entire morning with Alex's pre-school class (don't ask!).
Becasue it was the first pre-school day of the new month, the teacher was introducnig a new set of themes - bugs and mothers day.
Teacher introducing class to caterpillars....
"I bought these caterpillars yesterday and they were half the size they are today. Caterpillars eat and eat and get bigger and bigger, can anyone tell me what happens to caterpillars when they get really big?"
Alex's classmate......
"They turn into raccoons then they become butterflies".

Teacher introducing Mothers Day to the class.......
"In the month of May we have a day to celebrate a very special person. Do you know who that person is?"
Guess number one...
"You?"
Teacher....
"No, not me. Someone in your family. Who is special in your family?"
Guess number two......
"William!"
Teacher....
"Everyone has one of these. Does everyone have a William? No. I will give you a hint. Its a girl - a lady".
Silence and vacant stares......
Teacher...
"A lady in your family who loves you very much...."
Lots of "Uuuummmmmm", squinting eyes and furrowed brows.....
Teacher...
"Its the person who brings you to school!"
Guess number three.......
"The bus driver!"
