Editing Speeches

I'm supposed to be (am?) working late editing speeches.  But it's driving me crazy trying to figure out what the kids are trying to say!!  So I've decided that the particularly odd ones, I will type here in the hopes that a) sharing them will help me to stop focusing on the bizareness and move on and b) that retyping them will help me understand them (the way reading something aloud often works).  So here we go...

Topic - My Ideal Holiday
- "And I slowly come in a bath"
- "And I sleep soundly harmonizing with others in the bed."
??!  I'm picking this 16 yr old has no idea what he's saying...


Topic - My Worst Wednesday
- "Furthermore, I became hollow during movement and had the leg treated in the nurse's office."
With this 16 yr old, I have no idea what he's saying.  Unless he goes to Hogwarts??

Topic - ?? Involves a description of her basketball team
- "Finally Tomi is small and am pretty.  Paste is good, and a strange face is pride." 
Is she calling her friend pasty?  Or am I just paranoid?  (remind me to put some more fake tan on tonight...)

Phew, finished.  Nothing else particularly odd.  Relatively speaking.  Just normal sentences like "I think one year two set is fine to years" and "Sometimes we are a quarrel."  Bog standard, really.  Ok, I'll confess the first one there is from a speech I'm returning to the teacher with a sticky note reading "I don't understand.  Sorry!"  Three of her twenty are being returned like that... oops!  Haha, just noticed the topic of the one I don't understand: "I think year".  Wtf? 

Ok, time for me to supermarket and get some dinner.  Poor Jeff had an instant rice thing for dinner because I told him I wanted to stay late and finish this instead of coming home via the supermarket. 

Night all.
