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.

What exactly does she think I would've lanced it with? The scalpel I keep by my Saltines??

In the hall I hear someone say "I don't know why Sully couldn't take care of it?"

C'mon now!!

Why didn't you just grab one of those plastic knifes from the lunch room? Pour some alcohol over it, put a bandaid on, it'll be alright!

I think I would have grabbed a pair of old looking scissors and said "sit still, this won't hurt." :sarcastic:

LOL...I have been called the "ice police" and an uncaring nurse because I didn't give an ice pack for invisible injuries that happened days before.

I have a sign on my bathroom door that requests that the light be turned out and the sink be turned off. Honestly - what do some of these kids DO at home? I mean the sink just isn't left dripping - it's left running full bore.

Why would a 4th grader wipe a drop of blood (from another student's dripping bloody nose) off the floor with his finger and taste it?

The hot glue gun is the bane of my existence. It is why I have Burn Gel in my office.

I'm in my 30s and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a hot glue gun...
