Know why I'm so smart?

A student asked me today, "Do you know why I'm so smart?" I ask, "Why?" He said, "Can you keep a secret?" I respond, "Yes." He leans over and cups his hands to his mouth and whispers in my ear, "I'm not from this planet!"

"Ma'am"

A door to door sales boy asked me, "Are your parents home ma'am?" I wondered to myself, If I am old enough to qualify as a "ma'am" why is he asking for my parents?

he's growing

While testing a 6 year old patient on immediate memory recall I asked him to repeat this sentence, "The big brown dog ate all of the cat's food." His response, "That must mean he's growing."
