Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

Kinder teacher: "I think Little Darling has a fever because I felt a few other kid's heads and her's was the warmest"

C'MON NOW!!!

This made me laugh out loud in my office suddenly and scare the little one i have in here resting.

C'MON NOW!!!

I think that's profiling...

Two 8th grade girls come in laughing and clutching their stomachs. "We just chugged a bunch of Coke so we could use the empty bottle for our bottle rocket project." Me: Well, it's time for some natural consequences. Them: Wait, like, can we just drink some water? Or lay down? Me: Well, those will likely not help your symptoms. You can sit here for 2 minutes and then go back to class.

I can't deal with stupidity anymore!

Don't you just love it when a teacher decides that that old pesky medication policy doesn't apply to them??? Especially when that poor baby has a microscopic scratch that needs neosporin immediately so it won't get infected...............

C'MON NOW!!!

Limping LD: A friend accidentally hurt my ankle.

Me: How?

LD: She...ran in to me.

Me: What were you doing?

LD: I was on the floor.

Me: WHY were you on the floor? (And know, dear brothers and sisters, that I never ask high schoolers why they do anything because...you know).

LD: We weren't really doing anything and I was lying on the floor and she fell on me.

Me: Where was the teacher?

LD: Sitting in the center of the circle.

I just had a student come in and ask for "pins". I asked what kind of pins; did she want safety pins? No, she needed a few ink pens, and she saw that my assistant had a full cup of them on her desk. I advised her that the clinic is not the place to come and ask for school supplies; that she needs to check with the front office, or buy one in the library. Come on, now!

I just spent 5 minutes arguing with a kindergartner who had an accident and had to change pants about wearing his pants the right way and not backwards back to class.

Take me now summer break!

I had one yesterday:

"I got kicked in the head at recess"

Oh man, how did that happen?

"i was laying ON THE GROUND and they got pushed into me"

Kinder (good friends with my son) comes in; he has blue stripes from fingers to elbows "Hi (son's mom) I need a new bandaid please"

Me: Sure, but, I gotta ask. What's with the stripes dude?

Kinder: We're not taking about that, that's not why I'm here

So now I have no idea why he decided to be a blue tiger today...

Our site manager just showed me an email from a parent demanding we turn our air conditioning off. She claims that the "extreme temperature differences" between inside the school (72-76F) and outside the school (90F) is making her precious snowflake sick.

That's not how science works.
