Preschool Gems

They said what?!The revealing, hilarious, and bizarre-but-true things overheard in preschool classrooms, based on the Twitter sensation.When preschool teacher Leslie McCollom created the Preschool Gems Twitter feed, it was because precious jewels were slipping through her fingers every day. Jewels like, “My mom lived in the 90’s,” “I’m feeling poisonous, baby kitty,” and “OK, but I’m still a dragon.“Although she swore she’d remember these gems forever, in five minutes they would vanish, never to be heard by human ears again. So she became a covert anthropologist in the underground world of children, and started carefully cataloging them, and has been gracing the Twitterverse with her findings ever since-such as:“When I went to the chainsaw store I saw someone with REAL bubble gum.”“There’s a wolf in my tummy and a porcupine in my bum.”“I don’t care about time outs. I only care about my life.”“Who are me?”“I love David Bowie. I’m going to marry David Bowie.”
