If I Were Mrs. Vala...

Whenever I have a student with a birthday, they get to sit in a special birthday chair, and spend about 10 minutes sitting up front while they call on other students to ask them questions, followed by the Happy Birthday song, of course.
Lately, there has been a trend which I find quite hilarious. One student started the trend by asking a birthday girl "if you were Mrs. Vala, what would you do to the class?" This followed by questions such as:
"If you were Mrs. Vala and you had to give your class candy all day long, which candy would you give? Your choices are: Skittles, chocolote, or gummy worms."
"If you were Mrs. Vala, how many recesses would you let your class have everyday?"
"If you were Mrs. Vala, how many white slips would you give in a day?"
"If you were Mrs. Vala, how many parties would you have in your class every week?"
There were others, but you get the idea.
Of course you realize, that the students' answers made them way more awesome of a teacher than I actually am. And so it goes.
On a side note, I have such a "special" boy in my class. This is the same one who told me he sucked on way too many toys from China. His question to the birthday girl today was: (and this is EXACTLY how he stated the question)
"If you had to destroy one of the following armies, which army would you destroy? A) The USA army. B) The Iraq army. C) An alien army."
The girl chose C, and alien army and of course he told her EEEEEEEEEEEEP WRONG! Iraq is the best choice. yikes.
These questions followed by others such as
"If you had to dive into a swimming pool, which one would you dive into? One made of chocolate sauce, one made of Skittles, or one made of ice-cream?"
They are really into giving other students bizarre ABC choices lately.
I also love the fact that the question "if you had a million billion dollars, what would you do with it" comes up EVERY TIME. The best part is, they all say that they would give at least half (if not all) to charity. How cute is that?

Cute! I love that idea....how fun. The answers must be hilarious. I think I would also destroy the alien army, hello, it is aliens and they have an army!

Maybe it's a friendly alien army? :-)
Too cute, I love the stuff kids say!

I've missed you telling stories about your school kids. This one is hilarious. I think I'd be terrifed when it was my birthday if that "special" boy wanted to ask me a question.

Seriously an awesome idea for kids...I think it is funny that the kid asking believes there is a wrong answer...ha ha,
I would want to dive in a pool made of all three of those options :)
