Funny Students

I subbed in a kindergarten class today and I have to share something funny that happened.
Let me preface this story by saying that I took them to the library for their 1/2 hr. library time. This time included the Librarian reading them a story, then she announced what kids still had overdue books out (which was only 4), then the ones who did not have over due books out looked for new books and checked them out. This story happens during the time the Librarian was going over who still had books out. The conversation went like this:

(EVERY SINGLE NAME IS MADE UP...I WILL NEVER USE A REAL NAME OF ONE OF MY STUDENTS-----I AM ALSO CALLING THE LIBRARIAN MRS. L)

Mrs L: Kyle, you still have ________book out. (I don't remember any names of books so _________means the book they have out)
Kyle: OK
Mrs. L: Please look for that tonight
Kyle: OK
Mrs. L: Marissa, you still have_______out. Please look for it tonight.
Marissa: Ok
Mrs. L: Pete, you still have ___________out, Please have your mom or dad look with you tonight.
Pete: Ok
Mrs. L: Katie, you still have___________out and it has been overdue for over a month now. Please ask mom and dad to help you look for it tonight.
Katie: Um, um....my mom has been too busy to look for ________book because she has been busy shopping and buy me new cloths.
Mrs. L: For a whole month
Katie: yes

So apparently Katie's mom has been so busy shopping and buying Katie new cloths that she couldn't possibly have time to look for a library book.

I thought this was funny.
