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.

Kiddo comes in this morning with a stomachache. She said it feels fine when she is laying down, and maybe she needs to lay down at home. I asked her when the last time she went poop was..."Two years ago."

Welp, that explains the stomachache! Called her mom, she told mom that she could only stay half of the day. When mom and I agreed that she could return, she started crying and grabbing her stomach. C'mon now, kid. I wasn't born yesterday.

I know we have visited this subject several times on several different threads, but here goes.

You have a new number, but fail to inform the school. You even have a student with a known medical condition that cause him to pass out. C'mon Now!!!

A 6th grader pulled her hamstring by leaning on a locker. Now she needs a wheelchair.

C'mon now!!

I've been getting the stomachache business all week. Yesterday my hypochondriac 2nd grader comes in with, "my stomach feels bad when I sit down and TERRIBLE when I stand up."

Send back to class with note stating student must stand on head. I bet that stomachache disappears real quick.

Stapled himself in the thumb to get out of class- Parents LOVED that phone call

[mom to many]

Second grade girl just rushed in. Shoved her hand in my face, all I see is a big glob of phlegm coming at me. And she asks "Should I wash this off? I just coughed it up." WHAT DO YOU THINK?? OF COURSE!!!

C'MON MOW!!

A kiddo who had been up once already came in and nicely placed a Hershey Kiss in front of me.

Me: "You tryin' to bribe me to let you go home?"

Kid: (big smile) "No."

Me: Checks temp, 100.7 "Well, it worked!"

Hey maybe word will spread and you'll get a bunch of Hershey Kisses from frequent flyers!

Got to love the parent that knowingly sends in their child sick after I sent them home sick Monday, denies that they gave them medicine after kiddo already ratted you out (the 101.7 supports their tale of purple medicine too) then takes an hour to get here. Allergies my Aunt Fannie!

I just had to call a mom a frequent flier.

"Are you beautiful or something? I know he just comes in there to stare at you. You all are going to have to get an uglier nurse!"

Well...thanks? (I by no means consider myself beautiful, but maybe we can talk to kiddo about not abusing the system and to stop faking it!)
