Me- "No."
Kid- "When you don't shave you look like you are trying to grow a mustache."
"You look bad. You should shave."
"Why do you wear so many blue shirts?"
"Your music in really bad."
Kid- "Sitting is boring."
Me- "Read a book."
Kid- "Reading a book is only less boring."
Kid- "I threw the pencil. Not her."
Me- "So when you were sitting three feet away and I saw her throw the pencil- that was you?"
Kid- "... yes?"
Kid- "Are you wearing the same pants that you wore yesterday."
Me- "Yes. They are jeans."
Kid- "You should change your pants more."
"She cried because of you. She's going to hate you forever."
"Do you even know how to do math?"
Me- "You added all these problems. The directions say to subtract."
Kid- "BUT I DON'T WANT TO SUBTRACT!"
Me- "You didn't listen so you are going to have to sit out for 5 minutes."
Kid- "I thought you said 3?"
Me- "No. Five minutes."
Kid- "Okay. I'm going to count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, (minutes pass) 98, 99, 100. How many minutes has it been."
Me- "It has been two minutes."
Kid- "Oh... 1, 2, 3..."
"You look bad is glasses."
"You have four eyes."
"Wear contacts. You'll look better."
"You look weird without glasses. You should wear your glasses."
