A SNEAK PEEK!
“Somebody get me out of here!”
That’s what one of my kindergartners yelled while struggling to take off his coat, and I knew right then, I had to start writing this stuff down.
Welcome to the wild, wonderful, and sometimes downright wacky world of Crazy Kid Quips! This book is a collection of real quotes from real kids, the kind of lines that come out of nowhere and leave you either belly-laughing, scratching your head, or thinking, “Did they really just say that?” From mix-ups like calling A1 Sauce “AL Sauce” to bold declarations like “My dad’s turning old but I’ll still call him Dad,” this book is filled with the sweet chaos that only children can create.
Over the years, I, Linda Merdian, have had the joy of teaching more than 1,100 preschool and kindergarten students, each one full of curiosity, imagination, and let’s be honest, very loud opinions. I didn’t set out to write a book at first. I just couldn’t let these little moments slip away. The things kids say are funny, yes, but they’re also honest, thoughtful, and incredibly telling. They remind us how purely children see the world without filters, and often with way more truth than we’re ready for!
Inside Crazy Kid Quips, you’ll find quick one-liners, funny misunderstandings, and full-on laugh-out-loud exchanges from the classroom and my own home. Some quotes will make you giggle, others will tug at your heart, and a few might make you stop and appreciate just how magical childhood really is. There’s no big plot or long chapters, just bite-sized joy on every page, perfect for bedtime laughs or coffee-break chuckles.
The theme of the book is simple: kids are funny, and their words matter. This isn’t just about humor, it’s about capturing the innocence, honesty, and big thoughts inside little people. The genre? You could call it humor, memoir, or teacher-life storytelling with a whole lot of love.
Who’s this book for? Everyone! Parents will relate. Teachers will nod knowingly. Grandparents will feel warm and nostalgic. Kids will love hearing the silly things other children say and maybe even recognize themselves in the pages. Best of all, it sparks conversations between grown-ups and kids about what they think, feel, and say. It’s a celebration of childhood in all its wonderfully unpredictable glory.
So, if you’ve ever needed a reminder of how joyful, clever, and downright hilarious kids can be, this book is for you. Grab a copy, share it with your children, and enjoy the laughter it brings. Parents trust me, reading Crazy Kid Quips together will turn ordinary moments into treasured memories.
After all, when a child tells you their eraser didn’t work so they “had to use their skin,” you just have to laugh… and then write it down.
