I've always loved children and working with them. While there are definitely trying times, paint and glue filled hair, migraine inducing shrieks and stressful situations... I usually think of my job as fun rather than work. Working with kids also has it's perks, mostly in the joy that just oozes out of them. Their smiles are contagious, their laughter is healing and their creativeness is limitless. From this creativeness and imagination comes some of the greatest quotes that I've ever heard. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have!
As a little boy walks past a girl building a tower of blocks, the tower falls down. "Thanks a LOT" - girl
"You're welcome!" - boy
"I didn't really mean it. I was being sarcasmical, gosh." - girl
On April Fool's Day, preschoolers are out in force!
"Good morning, ______" - me
"I wet my pants!!! [.5 second pause] Just kidding! April Fools!!!" - girl
"Oh, you almost got me!" - me
"Hey teacher..." - girl
"Yes, ______?" - me
"You wet your pants!!! [.5 second pause] Just kidding! April Fools!!!" - girl
Frantically running into the classroom from the bathroom...
"TEACHER!!!! Somebody forgot their poop in the bathroom!" - boy
[seeing, after being pulled into the bathroom to investigate, that someone had simply forgotten to flush the toilet] "Oh, it's okay. We'll just flush it and you can go then." - me
"But Teacher, somebody FORGOT their poop!" - boy
Preschoolers aren't always as discrete with personal information as parents might hope.
"Mommy's new boyfriend had to go to jail! But he's okay, because they have tv and chips." - girl
After hearing another girl talking about jail...
"At Wal-Mart I saw these boys going to jail with the police" - Girl 2
"Well, sometimes people do things they're not supposed to and they have to go take care of things" - Other Teacher
"Ya, like going across the street or talking to strangers! OR going to a friend's house without asking!" - girl 2
During our daily craft project, making a monkey.
"Okay, next you're going to draw a big smiley face!" - me
"No....... I'm going to draw a sad face." - boy
"Why is he sad?" - me
"Because he has to eat bananas, and bananas are gross!" - boy
During another craft project.
"Teacher Rene' are you going to do this project with your kids at home?" - girl
"Well, I don't have kids" - me
"But you're married." - girl
"Yes, I'm married, but I don't have any kids." - me
"You don't like kids?!?" - girl
"I like kids. I love all of you! I just don't have any of my own." - me
"You should go home and get kissed so you'll have kids. That's what my mommy did." - girl
