#6 Creepy, But Clever
Not a parent, but a former teacher. I taught English in a school in Spain, and I wasn’t supposed to let the kids know that I speak Spanish (so that they are forced to communicate in English). A 10-year-old girl came up to me one day, grabbed me by the hand, and said, with the most horrifying straight face ever: “Te vas a la muerte,” which translates to “You’re going to die.” I was so shocked at the randomness of it that my jaw must have dropped. She then laughed her head off and said, “HA! You DO speak Spanish!” She then skipped away, laughing and smiling. It was the creepiest thing a kid has ever said to me. And probably the most clever thing a kid ever did while I was a teacher.
