Let's all just be friends

Overheard on the Playground (2nd grade):

Melissa: 'Lunchlady, Susie told me that Cody and Amy are dating!'

Me: 'What do YOU think about that?'

Melissa: 'Well............they DO spend a LOT of time together!'

The Lunchroom Is Now Serving...

I'm back. My 3rd year working in the lunchroom. I've not been posting much -- I blame it on Facebook. No one seems to blog any more, but something cute happened today so I thought I'd post it here.

Cute little kindergarten boy (I'll call him Joey) asks at recess to use the bathroom.

I thought for a second and asked him

Me: 'Didn't you just go during lunch?'

Joey: yes

Me: Well, why do you need to go again?

**while we're having this discussion, Lunchlady #2 sent a little girl to use the bathroom**

Joey: (Pointing at the little girl walking towards the school building) 'Oh I just REALLY like that girl a LOT'

LOL -- I told him he could wait. Then I asked what the girl's name was and he didn't know. So I said,

'Perhaps you should get on a first name basis before professing your love to her?' ROTFL

I love kindergarteners!

The good old days...

One of my 5 year old Kindergarten students was belaboring over a not-so-favorite babysitter of hers. I interrupted her growing list of 'complaints' telling her that perhaps she should report some of these complaints to her parents, to which she replied:

Oh that's okay, she's probably dead now. This was a long time ago when I was only 3!

bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Winter Break (S)

PLURAL

The friday before winter break was our scheduled day for winter parties (formerly known as Christmas parties before the powers that be got involved).

Unfortunately, our entire school day along with the parties got cancelled due to our very first snow day. Mixed blessing to say the least.

So fast forward 2 weeks and a handful of days and we are up and running (literally) again with school brimming with kids, sleds, lunchroom/recess activity.

Our winter parties got rescheduled for last Thursday - shorter versions but at least the kids would get to have one, right? NOPE! School cancelled due to way cold temps. The kind that make vehicles not start, people stock up on food, and parties get (hopefully) rescheduled once again.

Friday and Monday (today) were already SDO (scheduled days off) so we were treated to an extra long 5 day weekend. Also known as Winter Break, part deux!

Stay tuned for more lunchroom anecdotes. . . providing we ever get to return to the lunchroom that is.

Caught red-handed...

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.
