From the past (all the way from the beginning to yesterday...)

While substituting in a grade primary music class, for which I wore a green sweater (to help the little tykes remember my name):
       5 year-old: "You really like the colour green!"
       Me:           "Yes I do; it's one of my favourite colours"
       Kid:            " Maybe that's why your Mommy called you Mrs Greene"
I'll ask her about that, kid......


"Andrew...why is there a shoe in your trumpet??"
"I forgot my mute"


"Well, I did punch a cow once in Mr Jenkins pasture."
(a line from a scene that a grade 10 drama group wrote)


"I'm just going to sit back, listen to some jazz music and stroke my chicken."
(said by a very innocent, sweet girl, as an improv character who like jazz and raises rare, exotic chickens...)

We need less s and m sound, and more 'aw'.
(I actually said this in a choir rehearsal, when explaining the pronunciation of the word 'small'.)

"While I work with the trumpets, the rest of you sit and quietly finger your parts."
(And while you're at it, try to add in some tonguing....)
