Why my job is never boring....

Occasionally I like to just let the kids talk because it is amusing to see where the stream of conscious conversation among 7 year olds goes.  Here is verbatim what was said during our reading group time yesterday.
"Draw two pilgrims and a turkey." (This was the line in the story that Eli read.)
Eli looks up: "I feel like turkey."
Elinor: " I have two baby turkeys at home.  I get to hold them in my hands."
pause
Elinor: " They go poop in my hands."
Eli: "My grandma's dog wipes his butt on the carpet."
Elinor: "Turkey poop stinks."
Eli: "You should smell my grandma's dog!"

I swear this is exactly what they said.
