Im laughing so hard, Im crying. THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!!!!! So glad that I am not the only one who says things to the kids and you get a blank, confused look back.

when a kid gets bopped in the nose with a ball I always say "Now I'll never be a teen model!" ala brady bunch and tell the kids that i'm quoting Marcia Brady. They all say "Who?" sigh...

Kid comes in with a bloody nose, shows me his book and says "Mrs. Jones said you need to get this off". There is blood on one of the pages of his book. Only the dedication page.

I sent a note back that said "The only way I can get blood off of a page, is to rip it out. Sorry!"

Like, c'mon now.

School picture day I was just informed that the photographer has allowed EVERY child to use the same hairbrush before their photos.

The 7th grade boys restroom must be looking pretty gross today!!! So many vomiters in there yet they look just fine and dandy, smell pretty good and don't so much as gag the 30-45 minutes they have each been in here with me. Hmmmmmm...........................

Vomiting, schomiting!! More like spring fever mondayitis. However, I have been sending them all home with the policy about the 24 hour rule. Because, well I am in that kind of mood today. Let the parents be inconvenienced. C'MON NOW!!!

C'MON NOW!!!!!!!

My thought process was just "wow I remember everyone getting their own little black comb while waiting in line for picture day in grade school." Then "oh...that was the school nurse passing those out." Now I'm thinking it was less about us having wild hair and more about us not sharing hair brushes.

Student: I was sent here by the gym teacher. I'm taking a new medicine that the doctor told me would make me sleepy.

Me: Okay. What is it?

Student: Loratadine.

Me: That is allergy medication.

Student: Yes, and I'm so tired. (Student is able to have a full conversation with me and attended classes earlier this morning.)

Me: I'm sorry you are tired, but I cannot excuse you from gym for taking allergy medication. Your body with adjust to it over time. You cannot hang in my office during gym class.

Sigh. I take allergy meds and am tired as well - can I not go to work today?

Had a little FF stop in this morning and stand by my desk.

Me: Can I help you?

FF: I don't know , my teacher sent me here.

Me: Oh? Did she say why?

FF: She thinks my eye hurts.

Me: Your teacher thinks your eye hurts??

FF: I guess so....

Me: Why does she think that?

FF: *shrugs*

Me: Well, DOES your eye hurt?

FF: Ya

Me: Did you tell your teacher your eye hurt?

FF: Ya

Me: *sigh*

:banghead:

This is why I drink...

j/k, but in all seriousness, I truly can't comprehend why people don't think about some things...I get not everyone has the mindset of a nurse, but some things just seem like common sense....

2nd grader known to me from Girl Scouts, cheer, after school stuff

"I have a bloody nose"

Me: doesn't look like it

2: "But when I do this" twists tissue and shoves it into her brain via her right nare and pulls it back out "there's some blood on it"

Me: because you're shoving things into your nose, things do not belong inside your nose, don't do that.

2: "But I feel a booger in there. How am I supposed to get it out?"

Me: Blow your nose

2: "I don't do that, it's gross and not very proper" (mind you, this child is anything but proper!)

Me: But if you just blow your nose, the boogers will come out, the problem will be solved and you won't have to stick thing up your nose. Which is way more gross than blowing your nose

2: "I've made it 8 and a half years without blowing my nose, I'm going for 9"

and she left with a gigantic booger hanging out of her nose...
