My students are brilliant and hilarious

Two things happened at school today.

My kindergarten class has been taking note of the sunrise and sunset times over the last month. Then at the recommendation of an engineer friend of mine, I had the seven year olds plot the declining amount of daylight on a graph. Yes. Then we predicted when the sun would set next week.

In a first grade class:

Me: So how else are ants like people?

Student: They both have babies in eggs.

Me: People do not have babies in eggs.

Another student: Edison! Edison! Thomas Edison was born in an egg!

Then I laugh hysterically for about a minute. And then:

Me: Thomas Edison was not born from an egg.

Then another pause...

Yet another student: A lot of Koreans are born from eggs.
