Mother's Day

Last year I was the 3rd and 4th grade teacher at Puertas Abiertas, an after-school program for underprivileged kids. The Friday before Mother's Day I had them write acrostic poems for their moms. Some of them were so hilarious that I don't think I'll ever forget:
From Dashia:
Mmm yeah my mom got skills
Ohh yeah my mom raw like meat
My mom is the best

One of the other teachers hesitantly asked, "Raw like meat? Do you think your mom is going to like that?"
And she replied, "Ooh yeah, she gonna LOVE it."

From Jose:
Madre
(h)Acadera
De
Ricas
Enchiladas

The rough translation is:
Mom
Maker
Of
Tasty
Enchiladas
