My Kids' Thoughts on Giving

As a school district, Birdville ISD supports United Way. We have been collecting coins in a coin drive as well as having days like Dollar Hat Day to raise money for United Way. Yesterday was Wear you Sunglasses Day and my kids began having their own little discussion about it.

"Why are we bringing money to school for this stuff?"
"You guys, you guys. It's to raise money for the HOMELY."
"Yeah, the homely!"
"Like, people that don't even have any food."
"YEAH, SERIOUSLY, LIKE, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE LIKE, HALF OF A GUMMI BEAR."
"Are we feeding the ho-bos?"



At least they're concerned, right?

One of my little friends during one of our lessons began walking around and celebrating. It sounded like he was saying, "DA CHAIN!" and doing a fist pumping action. Here is our conversation.

"DA CHAINNN!"
"The...chain? Is that what you're saying?"
"No, DA CHAINNN!!"
"Is that what you all say now? Like, off-the-chain?"
"NO! Cha- CHING, Miss Leiss!" (precedes to walk around the room doing the cash-register-esque arm motion)

Oh. Right. Cha-ching...
