This week features three amusing stories that reflect some technology and some PE kids thoughts. All are true stories.

Kid Story 1 (as told by the Dad of a three year old son):

"John is a three year old who uses a computer at his preschool. He loves playing the learning games on a computer program called KIDSWAY. In order to get into the program the kids have to type in the word KIDSWAY at the DOS prompt on the screen."

"One day when I was driving John back from school he started to tell me about all the games he was playing on the computer and then he asked "do you know how to spell KIDSWAY, Dad?"

"No, I replied can you?"

John replied spelling out the letters:

"K-I-D-S-W-A-Y-ENTER"

Kids Story 2 (as told by the assistant coach who was watching the kids in a soccer huddle disperse from their last game on the head coaches last game):

"Our 7 and under soccer team was gathered around after our second to last game in which one of our coaches was moving out town and would no longer be this teams coach. Kids on the team were raising their hands and asking questions about where he was moving and saying good bye. One boy raised his hand and asked "Coach what is your new e-mail address going to be?"

Kids Story 3 (as told by a PE teacher)

One day I had to leave school right after bus duty to head to a function that had me dress up in coat and tie. I got all decked out after my last class and headed to my spot by the busses to perform my bus duties. One of my students walked by and did a double take.

He then looked back and said "Wow Mr. Healey, did you just get home from work?"
