That Didn't Go As Planned...

Convos with  kiddos:

 

Little Dude: hits me in the stomach (in a mean, but playful way)

Me: Little Dude, we don't use our hands in this classroom.

Friend: Yeah! You hit her tummy.

Me: What if I had a baby in there? Or what if I was really sick and your hands on my belly made me throw up?

Little Dude: OBVIOUSLY there isn't a baby in there. You don't even have a husband!

 

Ugh, yeah.. because that's how it always happens, Little Dude. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. They get married. Then they have kids.

 

Me: Can someone please tell me why there is so much talking while I'm trying to teach?

Lil Miss Diva: (raises hand, waves it in the air) Because nobody is listening to you!

 

Big Little Man: Ms. L. Will you always love me? I mean always? Even if I...

Me: Big Little Man, I will always love you. I may not love the choices you make, but I'll always love you.

Big Little Man: Even if I poop my pants?

Me: Even if you poop your pants. I know it would be an accident.

Big Little Man: Good. Because I just did.

Me: Seriously? Ugh.

Big Little Man: YOU SAID YOU WOULD ALWAYS LOVE ME!

Me: I do still love you. I just don't like poop.
