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.

I had a parent chase me down in June because her precious had lice, school had been out 6 weeks already!! Some how I didn't see this as my business while I'm enjoying a rare day with the hubby.

Ugh. The stomach bug is making it's way around our school. Yuck. I sent 5 home in a hour yesterday. Then I bet half of the school came up with stomachaches and temp checks.

Had a kid come up today and say "I heard there is a stomach bug going around and I think I feel bad." Umm. You think? Well, since your temp is whiney8.2, you can head on back to class.

She came up two more times and then I called home, let them know I see no reason for her to go home. Dad comes (was in the area) and tells her to suck it up and she's fine. Thanks Dad! Can I keep you here for a while to tell some others that??? Please?

I have two students with severe food allergies that are in the same class, BUT one is milk and eggs (even cooked) and the other is all peanuts and tree nuts. Both moms want their child at the one allergy free table we have and it basically turned into a "my kid is more at risk than yours" contest since both mother's don't want to deprive THEIR child of the other students trigger foods.

And this all of course ended up in my office and things are better now...but my goodness they literally argued who's child would die first in front of me...

:bag:

Already had one TEACHER in my office because she decided to put on her eclipse glasses and walk in her room, where she tripped over a desk and now her ankle is swollen

I told several students and teachers yesterday "If you get hurt because you aren't smart enough to take your glasses off while walking, do not come to me." I was half-way joking, but after reading this...C'mon teachers, you are the example. :facepalm:

That one made me laugh out loud. You could take up barbering as a side gig! Since we already wear so many hats, might as well add another.

My recess monitor called me over the walkie in absolute panic "Nurse Wine can you come out here as fast as you can, a student needs you, it's bloody" So I grabbed my emergency bag and ran out there.

The big emergency...

A student has a bloody nose...not from an injury...just a regular old bloody nose. two drops of blood on his shirt...

C'MON NOW!!
