Day Care part 2

second week of Day Care and i'm still trying to get used to how things are run (but i think the whole center is trying to work itself out too)

so i never know when kids are trying to take advantage of my noobiness

*kid comes up to me*
Kid: umm.... can u please... play this video? we're allowed to watch videos now.
*looks at Pocahontas video held pretty much under the table like its cocaine or sumfin*
Me: ahh... how bout you ask the coordinator
Kid: *gives up then and there*


kids can be smart arses sometimes, but i can be a bigger arse. (that doesn't sound right)


*two boys playing with an awesome paper windmill*
Boy 1: hey! give that back, i made it!
Boy 2: as if you made this
Boy 1: Did too!
Me: what are you guys fighting about?
Boy 1: I made this!
Me: yeeeww did not.
Boy 1: DID TOO!!
Me: no way... and do u know why i think u couldn't have made it? BECUZ IIII MADE IT
*takes back awesome windmill*



I rule at come backs. i think being around kids only develops my skill


*playing ping pong with kids*
Me: man theres no way i could have reached that
Boy: thats cuz ur too short
*boy's height measures to my waist
Me: but im taller than you, so u couldnt have reached it... even more.



and again, they still make my feel like a hundred years old

*little girl colouring Bratz doll picture*
Me: Do you like Bratz dolls?
Girl: YESS! did u play with Bratz dolls?
Me: nah i never had Bratz dolls, i only had Normal Barbie
Girl: yeah. that's cuz ur childhood was was was in the olden days.
Me: *cries in corner*

I love these etiquette videos


General Etiquette:How To High Five

My first day in child care.

woooooo from sunday school to day care is quite the jump. the biggest difference is the size of it, ovals and courtyards in comparison to small classrooms at church. in sunday service, mums and dads are like 20meters away. in day care, parents leave u with their kids, so u better make sure theyre not getting up to anything stupid...

10 minutes into the shift

Me: HEY!! get out of the tree guys!
HEY!!! keep ur hands to urself! no fighting!
HEY!!! get out of the out-of-bounds area!


another thing i learned is that kids are very different. some dont like being touched, and others...

*little girl nearly runs me over with a hug*
Me: HELLO!
*kid still hanging off my hips*
Me: so.. how bout we start with ur name?


i also learned that kids know more than we think they know.

*boy shows me a clear cup with beetles inside*
Boy: look!! theyre making babies!!
Me: *looks into cup and sees beetles mating* Maybe their just fighting?
Boy: No. theyre having SEEEEX
Me: .... well i guess its hard to tell sometimes.


and what the hec has happened to Handball these days, the rules used to be so simple.

Girl: Service
Boy: *hits ball somewhere else*
Girl: i said service!
Boy: it was too late!
Girl: ACE OVER-RULE!!
Boy: PINK PANTHER!!!
Me: whats pink panther??
Boy: Pink panther wins everything.
Me: ... im so old.


Yeah when u step into the a day care center, suddenly ur 5 feet taller and 50 years older.

Me: so how old are u?
Little girl: i keep that information confidential.
Me: *what the hec* oh ok. do u know how old i am?
Little girl: mmmm 100?
Me: *tear* pretty much.


everyone who works there are really nice and the kids are pretty awesome. day two tomorrow :)

You remind me of....
