So I forgot to post last week... woops! I may be missing for a few weeks as well because I am taking a group of student ambassadors to Greece, Italy, and France for the next three weeks. It's going to be so exciting!

Now back to my crazy preschool life...

Me: Close your eyes and your mouth because I'm going to put sunscreen on your face.
Child: Oh no! Not my face! Don't get it in my eyes.
Me: Why in the world would I put sunscreen in your eyes?
Child: You did last spring.
Me: Well it's summer now and we're turning over a new leaf.
Child: You're so funny Miss Annie. I'm not a leaf!

Bad Guys
One of my students just got back from visiting family in Pakistan. He was telling some of the other kids that his dad told him there were bad guys there who steal kids, so to be careful.
Child 1: What kind of bad guys?
Child 2: You know like bad people who throw things on the floor?
Child 1: Like dirty cheese?
Child 2: Yeah.

Blood Cast
I had blood work done this morning, so when I got to work I still had the gauze and medical tape on my arm.
Child 1: Why do you have that on your arm?
Me: I went to the doctor this morning and they took some of my blood.
Child 1: Why?
Me: To make sure I'm healthy.
Child 1: So why's that on your arm?
Me: When they take the needle out they need to make it stop bleeding so they put a band aide on it.
Child 2: That's not a band aide. That's a blood cast.

Bird Poop
Child: Birds don't poop. They don't have butts.

Strange Bird
I was putting sunscreen on a child and accidentally got it on a boo boo on her leg.
Child: Oh yeah. Rub that bad boo boo.
Me: You're a strange bird, love.
Child: I'm not a bird, silly! And I'm not a leaf either.

More Things We Shouldn't Have to Say But Do
We don't eat food off of our knees.
We don't put our fingers in our friend's belly button.
