C'Mon Now!

[OyWithThePoodles]

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.

Had a kid sit in my office for over an hour the other day because they flat out refused to straighten their knee from a 90* angle and swore they couldn't walk. Aside from a very superficial scrape (which they denied a bandaid for) I saw nothing wrong. Only complaints were when someone made eye contact or asked them what they were doing and then the theatrics came. They were even bold enough to say they were bored but because they were refusing to move it at all, I called parents. Took parents over an hour to call back but wouldn't you know, as soon as that phone rang, *bam* miracle. Leg was straight and they could suddenly walk. You wanna know a sure fire way to get on my bad side....?

C'mon now.

Dear Mr and/or Ms Snowflake,

You child suffers from a well known, but mostly harmless, condition known as "Status Dramaticus". There is a cure for this condition but it entails you, the parent, putting your foot down, setting boundaries of acceptable behaviour, and sticking to them.

Please let me know if you would like more information about the condition and it's treatments.

Sincerely,

The School Nurse

Oh to be able to say this!

I am just sooooo tired!!! Dealing with a situation that I cannot discuss. However, it has become a giant time suck.

This, on top of the usual stuff has got me beat down.

So, when kid is sent to me to remove a stuck ring for him and he tells me it has been stuck since Saturday - I almost just quite.

4 more days until break! C'MON NOW.....

I just a kid in one of my schools tell me that he can see super far and hear super good because of his Batman hat. He did good, so I believe him. But he was zooming around the office and my Nurse was like, oy vey.

4th grader: My light up sweater broke. (shows me the on/off unit, which is no longer attached to the wire) Can you rewire it? My teacher said you could...

I just...what?! C'Mon Now

High schooler with narcolepsy accidentally took his nighttime med at 0500 (apparently thought the wake up alarm was the med alarm) instead of 2330 like he's supposed to. Mom sent him to school with a quick text to some of his teachers and myself saying he can't miss any more school but that he'll be "in and out of it all day and is having difficulty coordinating his body to walk please don't make him use his fine motor skills" ?. By the time I got to campus, he was nothing but a snoring blob in the middle of his classroom floor. 3 classmates had to physically pick him up and move him so he wouldn't be stepped on. Dad was super mad he had to come pick him up (I think more so at mom for obvious reasons). But I mean...

C'mon now...

BeckyES - you are MAGICAL. Just not that magical.

I had a kid tell me that he wanted a pet chicken for Christmas, name it Gabby and hatch a baby chick army.
