Quote of the Day:

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of
the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. 
~Edgar W.

Today one of my colleagues shared this with me … true story.

During the middle of a class activity this afternoon, a student
approaches and says, “Teacher, there is a boy with no pants in the
library.”  My colleague walks over to
the classroom library to discover Nathaniel standing in the library
perusing the bookshelves with his pants around his ankles.  After
the ensuing inquisition, my colleague discovers that apparently he
didn’t know how to wipe himself after using the restroom so he decided
that he just wouldn’t pull up his pants for the rest of the day.   

And that, my friends, is why I don’t teach kindergarten.

  1. Oh gravy…..LOL!! What a site that must have been!Unfortunately, my daughter has suffered from severe constipation problems since she was a year old, so she refuses to learn how to wipe herself. The experience of going poo is so traumatizing that she won’t have anything to do with it. I swear, I will be wiping her butt when she is in college! We are working now to get her wiping on her own….baby steps. I can see her doing something like that in kindergarten, though. Poor kiddo!!

  2. okay as i heard once..the child won’t wear diapers in college..well we can only hope…. done that and yeh it does end one day…when least expected…in life try not to think on it too much or make a deal on it…then it changes in one second and you are doing something else…mothers all in assylums…hmmm i think alot of them are there in assylums in their minds…the ones not on drugs or taking to drink…. their are all kinds of ways to deal with motherhood…. and mothers day ..that is my all time favorite..hall mark cards should give all the money they make on those cards to mothers ..the ones who dont get the card the ones that get the card but never see the child..the ones that say yeh “mothers day” what is that again? …. this job is thankless ..not paying…no  achnowlegment from society…and in the end you never should look for retirement… 🙂 all said with a smile….
