A Conversation After Third Grade Choir
Excited little third grade girl: Miss T., Miss T. !!
Songbird using her excited teacher voice: What?!! What?!!
Little third grade girl bursting with excitement: I have stashes behind my knees!!!
Songbird enunciating slowly and clearly: You have stashes....?!!
Excited little third grade girl: Yeah, behind my knees!!!
Okay, all you maternal experts.... what in the world could this little girl be talking about?!! Rashes? Behind her knees?? If she had been wearing shorts or a skirt, I would have asked to see the 'stashes', but she was in jeans. I had at least a dozen other important "news bulletins" to listen to before the choir left the room so I didn't have a chance to ask her what the 'stashes' looked like. Have any of your children ever had 'stashes' behind their knees?!!

you better find out - cuz I'm busting to know.
Scratches?
Some kids have trouble saying the "k" sound. That's the only thing I could think of.
Strange.....
Susan, I will bet you are right with 'scratches'. The little girl was just so excited I was trying to come up with something less ordinary than scratches! When I said the word back to her, she simply heard it the way she pronounces it. Still....isn't 'behind the knees' a strange place to get scratches?!!
I hope you find out soon. I can't imagine what she could have meant. Scratches might be right, but from the way you tell it, she sounded happy about it.
Um.. I want to know what it is as well..lol If it was scratches or rashes why would she be so excited? I think she would be rather annoyed by them ..lol
Scratches was the first to pop to mind, so I'll go with that. But you never know.
Let us know when you identify the staches!
Hey don't ask me, I'm childless too.
I have no idea. With kids I've found it's often useful, after several attempts to understand a mangled word, to just nod and, as songbird did, repeat the sentence they said back to them.
I'm curious too.
stitches?
ask her how she got them?
