Things that are important to kindergartners

I was talking with two kindergartners at recess today.

K1: "I have a very wiggly tooth!", he said, excitedly wiggling it for me.
K2: "And your head is an oval!", she said.  Like those two things are equally interesting and important.

I laughed.  K1 wasn't sure if it was an insult or not and paused to think.  I said, "All heads are sort of oval shaped." Yes, I know, a brilliant addition to this conversation.  K2 carried on, "Except...," she pauses to think, "except someone in my class.  He has a circle head.  I can't remember his name."  Tapping lips, thinking.  I laughed again.  She continued to think, but could not come up with the name of the circle-headed boy in her class.  I guess that will remain a mystery to us all.  :)
