Kids Blog: Talia's Preschool Graduation

[shawnyw]

I am amused. Talia "graduated" preschool at the end of May.  ^_^

My husband was not amused.  He is of the opinion is that the only "graduation" that counts is the one from college... and okay... maybe the one from high school counts, too.  When he found out that her school was having one for the kids, he couldn't believe it.  ("Graduation?  From preschool?  That's not a real graduation!")

*laughs*  Maybe it wasn't a real graduation.  But it sure was cute!

I have two short video clips to share.  The first one is cute and funny - and it's only 2 minutes long.  You know how I'm always going on and on about how kids say the funniest things?  Well, this is the perfect example.

"When I grow up I want to be ..."

Prepare to LOL!

Some of the kids didn't speak clearly - and the audio isn't that great.  Here's a small transcription - in case you have trouble hearing their answers.

My name is Ameya and when I grow up I want to be a pilot that flys an F-16 fighter jet aircraft.
My name is Margo and when I grow up I want to be a Queen.
My name is Amy and when I grow up I want to be an artist.
My name is Sophia and when I grow up I want to be a princess.
My name is Dylan and when I grow up I'm going to be a Transformer.
My name is Camden and when I grow up I'm going to be ...?  (I couldn't make out what he said.  *shrug*)
My name is Talia and I grow up I want to be a catcher of animals.  (Haha.  Talia's been watching too much Dora the Explorer and Go! Diego! Go!)
My name is Nick and when I grow up I want to be a builder like my dad.
My name is Derek and when I grow up I want to be a zombie.
...? (Eh... I couldn't make out what this kid said at all!)
My name is Nicholas and when I grow up I want to be a helicopter driver.
My name is Brandon and when I grow up I want to be a Transformer.
My name is Markus and when I grow up I want to be a swim teacher.
My name is Colton and when I grow up I want to be a Power Ranger.
My name is Liam and when I grow up I want to be ...?
My name is Gabby and when I grow up I want to be a Queen like my friend Margo.

I LOL'ed at the bolded.  Haha.  ^_^

Ah... Kids are so cute...

... and Talia is such a ham.  She saw me in the audience with the camera.  I totally love how she's waving at me and preening before the camera like she's an actress on the red carpet.  ROTFL!

The second video is only 1 minute and 4 seconds long.  The kids are singing an extremely off key version of "You Are My Sunshine" in voice and in sign language.  ^_^;;
