Along with winter comes lost gloves...
Today on the playground, 'Timmy' approached me to let me know he had lost one of his gloves. I looked down and sure enough he was only wearing one. I asked him what the lost glove looked like.
He held up his bare hand (not the other one wearing the lost glove's mate) and said 'It looks just like this - with 4 fingers and a thumb'.

LOL
Over Thanksgiving break it snowed which meant 'open season' on the sledding hill. We've been having a blast watching the kids slip and slide down the hill squealing in delight.
Today, a little girl approached me completely bundled from head to toe in winter gear and sheepishly confided to me 'Uhmm, I just peed myself because I was laughing so hard'.
She really didn't seem too bothered by it but I had to giggle to myself thinking 'you're way too young for this to happen already' LOL.

Lost in Translation
Incident #1 - another supervisor called to me on the playground looking for a pair of gloves left outside by one of her students. She described them as 'Black with a Hawk on the back of the hand'. I looked and, sure enough, there was a pair of black gloves right where she said they'd be. BUT the picture on them was of.............

The HULK!
LOL
Incident #2
A boy called me over at lunch to report that the boys sitting near him were saying a really BAD word - it begins with the letter 'S' he said.
me: is it a word you can repeat?
him: no it's a REALLY bad word
me: does it end in the letter 'T'
him: beginning to spell it to himself 'S--H--............yes!
me: and (thinking how to be discreet) is it something that comes out of a dog?
him: (looking puzzled) NO!
me: Can you please just tell me the word?
him: it was 'Shutup'
*in case you're wondering - this is a 2nd grader who may just need to brush up on his spelling I'm thinking LOL.

A 5 year old's political perspective...
Had to break up a physical fight between two kindergarten boys because one of them was dissing the other's presidential candidate (rolling eyes). I can't wait til this election is over!

Funnies
Overheard in the lunchroom:
G: I saw Mr. 'B' (our custodian) at Burger King over the weekend.
E: Oh that's nice.
G: Yeah, that's where he got his BIG belly!
{giggles}
*****************
A: I have a tummy ache
R: what would you like me to do?
A: I think I should see the nurse and see what she'll do.
R: what do you think the nurse will do for you?
A: I dunno - I don't know anything about doctors.
{smile}
**************************
S: I like white milk and it's HEALTHY for you.
me: yes it is - glad you like it.
S: Not like THAT (pointing to chocolate milk) kind.
me: you don't like chocolate milk?
S: It's not as healthy.....and it has CHOCOLATE in it!
me: you say that like it's a bad thing.

Monday Leftovers
Haven't posted in a while but I thought of a funny from last Halloween. And since it's that time of year again, it's worth repeating.
So on Halloween the kids all get to dress in their costumes and have a parade and a class party towards the end of the day. I decided to 'dress up' a little bit and surprise the kids. Nothing elaborate, just a pair of cat ears and whiskers that, when clipped onto my nose, looked pretty convincing -- at least to my 5 year olds. Or.....................so one would think. I had a lot of fun acting surprised when they would point out my whiskers (as if I had just grew them).
One boy's comment clinched the prize for the day.
Little 'Doug' who calls me over to quite frequently ask me nonsensical questions that have much ado about nothing LOL.
He looked me straight in the whiskers and very seriously asked, 'What are you going to be for Halloween?'
I shrugged my shoulders and said, 'I dunno, maybe a dog?'.
I 'heart' 5 year olds.

Hey Lady!
Out on the playground yesterday and I hear a child shout out 'Hey! OTHER Lunch Lady!!'
There are TWO of us. What made me the OTHER Lunchlady I wondered? I approached him with that 'are YOU talking to ME' smirk on my face, did a quick introduction that included him reading my name from my ID on my lanyard and he quickly apologized that he didn't know my name. (We're only into --what is it?-- nearly week SEVEN of school?) LOL.
When I walked away I noticed one of the aids laughing herself silly over the exchange between the boy and I.
