I left the building for exactly 7 minutes today(forgot to pack my lunch and those chicken nuggets looked suspect) to run to Subway. When I returned I had a one potty accident, one vomiting kid, one too tired to function, and one head injury. C'Mon Now!

This. I don't get the potty accidents, but if I want to leave my office to go to the copier for 3 minutes (it is up one short flight of stairs), I reach the bottom of the stairs to run into a student with a pass to see me nearly 99% of the time.

2.)Poked in the closed eye with a breadstick is not a medical emergency and does not require friends to transport you to the clinic.

A few notes before the holidays:
1.)Parents, please do not take your child to get their ears pierced in the morning and then drop them off at school.
2.)Poked in the closed eye with a breadstick is not a medical emergency and does not require friends to transport you to the clinic.
3.)200+ kids spraying the principal with silly string will result in sheer joy and also lots of headaches and dizziness from the fumes!
4.)Mud on the pant leg of your jeans is NOT, I repeat NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!, you will live, promise!
Thank you and C'Mon now!

But they all meet the requirements to call the whaaambulance!!

If I leave you a detailed message with my direct phone number, why must you text your kid and tell him to tell me to call you back AND, when I do - let it go to voice mail?????????????

Then, you text him again to have him tell me to call AGAIN, and it goes to voice mail AGAIN!!!

C'mon Now!!!

Ugh. My current admin is like that too. Never wrong, and always correcting you just for the sake of correcting you! Even when she is completely wrong!!!

Student comes in - "I was running in PE and sweated, now my skin is itchy."

I can't, I just can't.

(got wet paper towel and he wiped himself down)

2nd grader at her second visit of the morning "I forgot to tell you I threw up this morning too, not just yesterday. But no one saw. And I'm dizzy. And my throat hurts."

Ok, so I do my thing...no fever, drank a whole water bottle and waited 10 minutes...still no throw up, so back to class she goes. I tell her I'm going to walk her there because of the dizziness to see how she does...SHE STARTS LIMPING....ok kid, now I know for sure this is the case of the fibs.

Day 1 of semester exams---

Little Darling (a JR in high school): My stomach was bothering me at home. (long story short)I just went to the restroom and have poop on my undies because I had the squirts.

Me: Okay, do you want me to call GM?

Little Darling: NO, she said she would not bring me any if it was not bad.

Me: Well, go to class.

(This Little Darling has tried the soiled panties trick in the past and was busted because she was lying.)

C'mon Now.
