Upon reading The Scarlet Letter:
Me: So, the townspeople are mean to Pearl because she is the child of adultery.
Kid: What about the other kids? Do they play with her?
Me: Nope. They're scared of her, and think she's tainted with the sin of her mother.
Kid: Oh, so she's like Rudolph?
...
(I'll let that one just sink in a moment.) :)

Oh ... I just love the things kids say. That is too funny. Keep writing them down ... someday, all those quotes and stories will make their very own book!!! :-)
The part of teaching I desperately miss. :)
This is too funny! What grade?
I thought that was hilarious, too, y'all :)
(That class is 11th, Vivian--I usually have 10th, but I've got one round of 11th this year)
