fun things kids say as first class attention grabbers

[Caroline Bowen]

Heard on a London bus, in piercingly clear RP.

Little Sister (3) It's not fair, Mummy. My nose won't blow.
Big brother (4) Why won't Fissy's nose blow, Mummy? My nose is a snot
factory.

Best wishes,
Caroline

Subject:  fun things kids say as first class attention grabbers

Hello all,

I like to use attention grabbers the first day of class in my language
acquisition courses. I usually mention the fis phenomenon, McNeill and
Braine on negative evidence, and some fun errors (for example from Erika
Hoff's and Eve Clark's books, with attribution). Students laugh and become
really interested in figuring out why kids say the darnedest things.
I was wondering if somebody can share examples that can be used this way or
if people have some favorite ones they use.
Thanks all.
