Sunshine In My Soul

Time for more stories! Since it's now been over a YEAR since I posted the last ones.....enjoy.

Poem that "C" wrote for Miss Meredith for Valentine's Day:
"Rosis are red
Vilits are blue
Its febuare you ho!"
(translation: "it's february, yoo-hoo!")


Picture this: Meredith and I are on the playground, watching "D" (a VERY odd, yet strangely charming boy, notorious for being in his own world) play with Max. We can't for the life of us figure out what they're playing. "D" jumps off the bottom of the slide, which is a big no-no. I call him down to where we're sitting and proceed to explain what is dangerous about jumping off the slide. He seems to be completely focused on what I'm saying, and is even nodding as I speak! I'm pumped, because my communication skills are clearly exemplary. All of a sudden, "D" looks over my shoulder and screams,

"MAX! Get the van ready!"

Huh? I'm more boring than I thought.



It's Halloween, and I'm going around the circle at circle time asking each child what he/she will be for Halloween. When I get to JL, she proudly announces she will be "Fatso Raven" for Halloween. I was stunned...then I realized she meant Raven from the TV show "That's So Raven". I love my job.



KL: "Miss Leah, are you wearing panties?"
me: "Um....yes?"
KL: "I knew it! Did you know girls have to wear panties to cover up their 'baginas'? And boys have to wear underwear to cover up their 'peanuts'."



Me: "'Z', are you feeling okay? Haven't you been to the bathroom 3 times since lunch?"
"Z": "No, I'm not okay. My bottom hurts."
me: (hesitantly) "What do you think the problem is?"
"Z": "I think it's because my shooey was too big."

wow.


"I" (walking behind Miss Jessica in line): "I like the way your bottom walks, Miss Jessica."
