"I know you never hate your students, but you're definitely gonna hate me this time." --Olivia

"When the soundpost falls, you feel like the Hoover dam just broke, and you're in the city below it." --Jonathan

"I couldn't get off that note. I was like a stuck truck." --Kayla

"You look like George Washington. He doesn't smile, either." --Isabelle

"If you don't get a sticker, it's like winning only 10 cents on Wheel of Fortune." --Jonathan

"Do-re-mi-fa...If finger four is "So", how will we ever get to the top?" --Melissa
(Find out next week, Melissa!)

"If I pluck the strings too hard, Melody yells at me. She doesn't like to be hurt like that. Last week she lashed me with her E string and it shot across the room." --Jonathan

"Thanks for giving me a fun lesson anyway." --Olivia

Reminds me of the book by Art Linkletter: "Kids Say the Darndest Things." Thanks for sharing those.

What are the ages of all these students? They sound young but wise and observant.

Karin, these particular quotes are from kids ages 6-10. That's a great age for creative thought.

I like that. Some day I'll write something similar about remarks by my students. Actually, some of them are heartwarming.
