What is a hippie?

During the afterschool program today, I sat with a male staff member, and a fourth grade boy. Out of the blue, the boy turns to the other staff member and says "you are a hippie". Laughing at this comment, my coworker asks "and why is that?"

The fourth grader replies without missing a beat, "because you have a big nose, you have a mustache, and you have funny hair".

"Tell me what you REALLY think of me", my coworker replies.

(mind you, this man is in his early 20's, shaved this morning, and has hair that looks pretty normal!)

Where grapes come from

At lunch today one girl was eating her grapes with great enthusiasm. She looked up to me and told me, "My mom made these grapes for me. She made them using apple juice and orange seeds".

So THATS where grapes come from :)

Meat Eaters

Dialogue from one of the four year old boys:

Can people eat pigs?
They can they wash the mud off? And then they are nice and clean and then they cook and they eat.
I don’t think its good, I guess I will not try it
