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.

The rash reminds me of...me.

When I was younger I was convinced I was allergic to hot cardboard boxes. Yep. I used to actually tell people this. The reasoning was I once held a hot pizza box on my legs, and when I removed it I had these little red squares on them. Freaked out.

I made the mistake of telling my husband about my fake allergy when we first started dating twelve years ago. To this day every time we get pizza to go he will start to hand it to me then say, "Wait, better not... No epi-pen on hand." And then puts it in the backseat. True love y'all.

UberEats is a thing in Atlanta. I made the mistake of telling my daughter you can have Krispy Kreme donuts delivered to your house via Uber. I was saying it in a "what have we come to?" sort of way. Now she asks for it every day...even when we're in our car on the way home like, "when we get home can we call Uber to deliver donuts?" Uh yeah, sure, right after the monkeys fly out my butt.

This morning when the front desk called to tell me Uber had delivered lunch for her classmate I just replied, "you can come kill me now, I've seen it all."

2nd grade boy come in "I feel sweaty because of gym"

me: "okay, grab a drink and sit down for a minute until you cool down"

He heads back to class and comes back not 1 minute later, teacher calls "Why did you send him back? He can't be here! He was vomiting all night and he feels sick again"

me: "Oh, he told me he was hot from gym class"

C'Mon Now kid! You gotta give me something to work with!

After using my contact lens solution 2-3 times a week for 2 school years "is this the only kind of solution you have?"

I told her "if you don't like it, I suggest you bring your own then."

I'm not gonna lie...I'd probably be the adult version of your daughter EVERY DAY! I hate to cook and I love me some donuts....:yes:

Trust me, I want to say yes. But we're out in our car and she wants to drive home and order donuts! Shouldn't we just drive by & pick up the donuts ourselves??

2 first grade boys came to see me: boy 1 "Our teacher said we had to come tell you that yesterday, this kid was chasing us and we were running really fast and then we felt dizzy"

boy 2: "Yeah, dizzy and I totally passed out"

me: what does passed out mean to you, describe what happened when you passed out.

boy 2: "I breathed real hard for a while and then passed out and went to play"

me: oh, that's not what passed out means buddy. Passed out means that you feel really dizzy and yucky and everything goes black and fall down.

boy 2: "That didn't happen, I just ran too fast"

both boys are okay today, no issues at recess.

Principal come over a few hours later- "Hey did see those 2 first graders?"

me:"yeah, they were fine, it was a little weird though"

principal "sorry about that, boy 2 told his dad that he got into a fight with another student and hit his head really hard at recess and then got dizzy and passed out twice."

Apparently boy 2 made up an elaborate story to cover the fact that he had gotten in trouble at dismissal(and dad believed him!)...C'Mon Now

Just had a donation of some clothing from a parent. Yay! I love donations of clothes. I just had a look in the bag and there is a whole bunch of hats and hair accessories. What's the problem, you ask? This kid just got treated for lice.

They were told to wash or get rid of hair accessories and hats, so they did...right into the school nurse's office. :sniff:

A tad passive aggressive? Was this a student with recurrent lice or a one time thing? Recurrent, I would offer a bit more grace, kind of like, see I am doing what you have told me...
