At the end of the day, Audra raised her hand, I walked over and she showed me four loose marbles.
“Oh Audra, you better put those with your others, you don’t want to lose them,” I warned.
“No, Mr. ________, these aren’t mine…” she began.
I cut her off with, “Wait, I didn’t think anyone else brought in marbles…”
“They didn’t, someone has lost their marbles!” She exclaimed.
Not being familiar with this idiom, she didn’t get the humor in her statement, but I sure did and wanted to share the joke.
I shouted across the classroom to Mrs. D., “Mrs. D. someone has lost their marbles!”
She laughed and I repeated myself a few times for added effect.
We identified the owner of said marbles and headed home for the day.

I love it when children say things to make us "blown ups" chuckle.
The other day I was not able to read your blog post as it had been blocked (censorship). I live in the Middle East and lots of photographic, pornographic and anti Islam sites are blocked. So I was very interested to see what you had posted that was so offensive - chat about kindergarten teaching is quite risque after all (!!) After a read though I am not 100% sure, but I think it could be the marshmallows!! Nasty offensive little things that they are :)
