student being legit sent to me for hiccups. really??

Yep. I have had a few students with the deadly, life threatening hiccups. I told a 5th grader to get a drink and go back to class, he said but it is annoying the class can I stay here until they're gone?

Well you're annoying me so no...... just kidding.

But he did go back to class...

So much SMH today that I may end up with a concussion!
male and female 2nd graders come in. He's holding his cheek, she's limping and bleeding from the knee.
Girl: "I stepped on his face and now my knee is bleeding"
Me: huh?! What on Earth? How did that even happen?
Boy: "I was laying on the playground burying myself in mulch and she didn't see me and stepped on my face"
Girl: "Then he yelled and it scarred me and I tripped and hurt my knee"
Me: SMH, C'Mon Now!
Teacher: Comes in with 2 students in tow (girl with known head lice, treated yesterday, telling EVERYONE all about it and boy looks confused)
Teacher: "I need you to check her for lice and send her home if she has any eggs left in her hair. No child should be here when they have this disease! Then you need to check his hair because he sits beside her"
Me: Do you mind not shouting student health information... Pulls girl into inner office, confirms treatment (again because I had already seen her today) girl walks out
Teacher: Well, is she still infected?
Me: That's confidential health information, unless you are spending prolonged periods of time head to head, you don't need to be concerned. Boy comes into inner office... Is your head itchy? "No." Do you want me to check you hair? "No, teacher said you had to because classmate has lice." Nope, head lice do not jump and they do not fly, so unless you guys are sharing hats or putting your heads together; you're good. "I'm good, I don't want you to mess up my hair anyway" kid leaves
Teacher: turning red(with anger) Well at my old school students weren't allowed to have head lice!
Me: The CDC and NSNA disagree with no nit policies, they do nothing to prevent head lice and negatively impact academics. I can send you more information if you'd like :)
1st: "I have this" points to hand
Me: what is this?
1st: Opens hand, stink bug flies out
4th: "I think my shoes are starting to get too small"
Me: okay?
4th: "Can I have new ones"
Me: ask your parents
I'm over today...

I read it to my wife last night, she now finds the humor in our posts since she is living it. She still won't join, but I'll pass on the best of.

I'm shocked you don't have a concussion from the head shaking.

I would've lost composure and shrieked like a little girl if I was bending down to check a first graders hand and a stink bug flew out at me instead.

FF kinder assistant (always bringing them in for crazy things) comes and gets me out of a meeting with another teacher because a child was complaining about her upper part of her ear hurting. No bumps, no redness, no nothing. Just hurts. Things like this I am just at a loss for what to do or words. Ive learned to hold my tongue though. So I acted very concerned and cleaned it and gave her an ice pack. Another child saved!

Student comes in: "my friend was pretending to do CPR on me and now my chest really hurts and it's hard to breathe"

Vitals all normal, student in no apparent distress.......

Me: "when did this happen?"

student: "a week ago"

C'mon now..........

Kiddo comes in

Kid: Johnny thinks he is rich. He tells the whole class how rich he is. I've been to his house, he isn't rich. He's just average. I mean his house isn't even made out of gold bricks!

This made me chuckle.
