conversations

I've been having all sorts of interesting conversations with children this past month, and thought I would highlight a couple here.

Ouch!

Thursday, was a rough day. I made a nice comment to one girl about the picture she was drawing of a horse. The girl next to her looked up at me and said, "You are so interrupting!"

Later on, the girl I complimented was talking to me and then noticed, "You have yellow teeth."

Thank you very much, ladies!

Silly/Funny

Children LOVE to mispronounce my name and call me Cherry. They find it quite funny.

Tonight I visited youtube.com to show Jonah some videos of people playing drum kits. We started with a drummer - a man in his 30s perhaps, thin, with LONG hair. He did a stick twirling trick...
Jonah: She's not spinning her stick anymore.
Me: She? Is that a man or a lady?
Jonah: A lady!
Me: How can you tell?
Jonah: She has a uterus.
Me: You can see that?
Jonah: Yeah.

Thank you!

It's so nice when children actually remember who I am and give me a big smile and hug when they see me. Some even remember me by name! (I work quite randomly at a LOT of different daycares.)

Any time I wear a necklace that Krista and Bob gave me for Christmas, I get ALL sorts of compliments. Children and adults of all ages, male AND female, just love this thing. They stare at it and tell me they like it. I can always expect a few glances at my chest over this one. Sorry the picture is so weak - it's the best my camera can do. Great choice, K-Bob!


I feel like I'm forgetting some good conversations, so I'll add them if I recall them anytime soon.

Oh, and I have to add the weirdest thing I've WITNESSED in the last month at work. A teacher left the premises to smoke. Then came back and used her asthma inhaler.
