...and it has no hair on it.

While working on language processing with an 8 year old I asked him, "What does a minister do?" He looked at me and said he didn't know what a minister was. So I explained that this is the guy who either stands or sits at the front of the church and preaches. He looked at me and said, "Oh yeah. I have one at my church and it has no hair on it."

it was a compliment

Working with a 5 year old in therapy on articulation skills, he continued to whine and whine. After a while I stated, "I'm getting really sick of this whining." He responded, "It was a compliment."
