Yes! Do you need me to call your parent for permission for you to drive yourself home?
Hang in there! 1 month, 3 weeks, 5 days until THANKSGIVING DAY.

A mom brought her son for his first day of school (new student). She was wearing a hoodie that said "I'm a Bad-A$$ with a fine A$$"on the back in giant letters (except uncensored). She did not understand why she could not walk around the school while wearing it...C'Mon Now!

Have you heard how even the elementary students talk? In front of their parents, no less. And I'm at a very sheltered private school.

I got an email today from a HS teacher "Hey just so you know XYZ has been self-administering ADHD medication. One was Ritalin and the other was a relaxant. Is this ok?" My jaw dropped. I call her right away. She had already let the student her class leave WITH THE MEDS. Then she asked if she can just keep them in her desk.

1st grader just walked in:

Me: "What's up?

1st grader: "my eye is itching"

No redness, no drainage, can't even tell which eye could possibly be bothersome.

Me: "When did it start?"

1st-y: "Just now"

Me: :::blank stare:::

" I have a feeling this is just a little itchy eye, kind of like when your arm gets an itch. You can go on back to class."

WHY?!?! Did that really warrant a walk to the clinic?????? What the heck did the teacher expect me to do- scratch it for him? I just can't.

This happens to me ALL THE TIME. Ok, so you've had a cough for 2 minutes. Have you had, oh I don't know, A SIP OF FREAKIN WATER? .......sigh

When kids tell me that their symptoms "just started" I always say "That's good news... Usually things that come on quickly tend to leave quickly as well. You'll be ok"

Conversation between kiddos (who happen to be cousins)

Boy 1: It's easier for me to get sick because I had my appendix out

Boy 2: Well, one of my organs died. My pancreas. I don't make any insulin

Boy 1: Yeah, well--

Me: Boys! This is not a competition about who has the worst organs.

Boy 2: But mine is more dangerou----

Me: You both have crappy organs, there. Stop it.

C'mon now. Gave me a little chuckle though.

Kiddo comes in today to take his ADHD med & is telling me something about a girl trying to budge him in line & trying to get him in trouble. I take advantage of the opportunity to tell him that, in the future, it will bode well for him to let the girls go first & ask him if he'd ever heard the phrase, "Ladies first." He starts out, "Well one time on Sponge Bob..." :nono: I stopped him right there and said, "Let's not base life decisions & manners on Sponge Bob, mmk?"

"Let's not base life decisions & manners on Sponge Bob, mmk?"
