So THAT'S how the schools get playground equipment

I should wear my hearing aids more often...

Ok, so this morning I was telling K and S that they each had a Ziploc bag with box tops in their backpacks. That they needed to give them to their teachers when they get to school, for the box top contest.

On the way to school the following conversation transpires...

S: Mommy, Mrs. H said that if we get enough box tops we can maybe get new playground equipment (they need new equipment, believe me)
K: ooooooooooooo that would be nice.
Me: that would be awesome

a few seconds pass...

K: how do they do that?
S: do what?
K: get equipment from the box tops
S: they take aaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll of the box tops out to the playground and plant them...and after a couple of days the playground equipment grows big and strong so we can play on them!

I was laughing so hard I didn't even hear K's reply. I finally said "S, honey, that's not how they get equipment. They turn in the box tops for money and then buy the equipment". K started laughing hysterically, I thought she was going to wet herself.

Anyway, that's my "kids funny" for the day.
