Passing on the snore

My favorite kid quotes almost always come from serious conversations and/or sincere requests. Today's quote was said in the most serious of situations.
It was nap time. One of my preschool students asked me if he could get a tissue. I could tell he was stuffed up so I let him get one. On his way to the tissue box he stopped and very sincerely told me: My dad always snores and then that snore comes to me. And then I snore." In other words: "I have a cold and I'm probably going to snore during nap time today. But if anyone asks, I get it from my dad." That's how I interpreted it anyway. Listen kid, my dad snores but so far that snore has not come to me.


And another of my favorite quotes: "I need more chapstick on my lips. Mine fell off." These little people are chapstick fiends.
