Same Name Conumdrum...

Boy duck, quackin' away, as you can see - (so typical) -
while girl duck listens intently to him - (so typical): 

"Hi, I'm Jamie and this is  Jamie!" or
"Hi, I'm Chris and this is  Chris!" or
"Hi, I'm Lou and this is  Lou!" or
Hi, I'm Dale and this is Dale!" or
"Hi, I'm".....etc., etc., etc....

We have five kindergarten and 4th grade classes, then four of all the other grades (through 5th) at our elementary school. The powers that be are very careful to separate all twin and triplet units - never will any of them be in the same class. Understood. Could somebody then please explain to me the philosophy behind having two kids with the same first name in the same classroom??? Excuse me, there are at least four classes to disperse kids throughout but the two with the same first name end up in the same classroom?? Just how does that make any kind of sense?
 
We screened the kindergartners yesterday. There were 3 pairs of kids sharing the same first name in the same class. Now doesn't that just make a kindergarten teacher's job way too easy? O bother!

Valentine's Day Clean-Up

Snippets from the Nurse's Office (NO):

Kindergartner comes into the NO, sits down and grabs his ankle: "I don't know what has happened, but my knee really really hurts!" Nurse: "That's your ankle you're holding, not your knee." Kid: "Ohhh, you're right! I'm always getting those parts mixed up!"
Kindergartners! Think it's time for a bones-in-the-body lesson?

Kid: "My eczema is acting up, I'm feeling dizzy and I know I have a fever because I'm over-heated." Nurse: "What were you doing that got you overheated?" Kid: "I was reading."
