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....)
