Kids say the darndest things

I’ve mentioned my friend Sam here before (you can watch a video of us laughing when I visited her in October). She’s an English teacher in Houston and wears fun socks. She’s really funny. But I think some of her students are giving her a run for her money. Most days her IM status rotates among hilarious quotations from her fifth grade students or members of her family. They’re so funny that I started copying and pasting them into an e-mail to save and reread.

But she’s finally figured out a way to keep better track of these quotes: Twitter. It’s brilliant. A sprinkling of laughter in between my tweets about publishing and current events and design. Even if you don’t have an account, you can still see all the quotes.

For more entertaining stories, check out her blog. My recent favorite is about her trip to San Francisco. She might love the city even more than me.
