Colin-isms

Outside Colin's new classroom, there is a big posterboard that poses a weekly question, and then each student's response listed below. Last week, the question was, "How much does [some item I can't remember] cost?" The responses ranged from "three cookies" to "eleven".   Colin's response: "two nickels." (how does he know what a nickel is?). This week, the question was, "Why do mommy and daddy go to work?" Again, his classmates responded with things ranging from "they like it" to "one time I lost a toy" and other assorted gibberish. Colin's response: "to pay the money."  Such an astute observer.
