Things Jr. High Students say!

As a youth pastor I hear a lot of interesting things when talking to students. I thought I would share some of those with you.

8^th grader, “Did you know I’m a jaw smasher?” Me, “No, what is that?” 8^th grader,” You know, I smash people jaws in one hit.” Me, “Do you do that a lot?”  8^th grader, “Yeah, I smashed the kid’s jaw sitting next to you.” Me “You mean the kid sitting next to me talking? “ 8^thgrader “It must of healed.”

Me, “What’s that on your hand?” 8^th grader, “I don’t know I can’t read it yet.” Me, “Why is that?”  8^th grader, ”It’s a game.  Somebody writes something on the inside of your hand and you can’t read it till the time written on the outside of your hand. ” Me “How are they going to know that?” 8^th grader, “They just do.”

7^th grader, “Hey, Candy Man!”  Me “Yeah, what’s going on?” 7^th grader, “Good, you got any candy?” Me “Come on now, we in Wal-mart, I don’t carry a big bag of candy every where I go.”  7^th grader,  “Oh.”

Me, “Why are you in trouble?” 8^th grader, “Cause weze waz bouts to beats dis girl up.”  Me,  “For what?” 8^th grader, “Cuz she’s a ho.” Me “How do you know that?” 8^th grader, “She said she was.”  Me,  “What?” 8^th grader, “She sat down at our lunch table was talk n’ and stuff, then she said “I’m a ho” and we don’t like ho’s.”

8^th grader ,“ You a pedophile?” Me, “No, what is wrong with you?” 8^th grader “Nothing, I’m just pretty sure only pedophile carry around large backpacks full of candy.” Me, “Well, I’m not a pedophile, I’m a Youth  Pastor.”
