what a pest!

my kids are still making me laugh.

in language, we're learning about subjects and verbs (or rather they're learning about subjects and verbs -- i already know about all that exciting stuff!). yesterday, they had about 10 sentences that had either the subject or verb missing and they had to fill it in to make the sentencce complete.. i got a kick out of the last sentence. here's what it said:

a ________ is certainly a pest to have.

here are some of the ones that cracked me up. my favorite is the very last one.

a zit is certainly a pest to have.
a pimpel (that's exactly how it was spelled) is certainly a pest to have.
a apple is certainly a pest to have.
a class is certainly a pest to have.

oi.
