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 :)
