I was walking kinder students to the clinic for hearing re-checks. The cutest little girl asks me if I am a doctor or a nurse. After I tell her I am a nurse, she tells me her Mom is studying to be a nurse. I tell her that is great, but I bet as a Mommy she does a great job taking care you when you are sick. She says "nah" she"ll know better what to do when she becomes a nurse.

Kindergarten vision and hearing screenings..They take a while because we have to do near, distance and color vision as well as hearing tests.
One little guy says to the other as they were leaving: "This took too long. Let's blow this place!"

I just had my diabetic kiddo in "My little sister died". I panic a little, knowing he doesn't have a little sister and hoping more than anything that mom didn't miscarry. "When did this happen?!" "This weekend, she was my doggy sister." Sigh of relief, and grief. My Maggie was my baby, my daughter called her Sissy, I miss her more than words.
Another student was being sent home for fever, this after the new governor was elected. "So and so should have never have gotten elected, he cheats on his taxes!" This from a KINDERGARTNER! And he wouldn't stop telling me how OOOLLLLLDDDD his grandmother is.

I have one little girl (she's a 2nd grader this year) who does NOT know how to keep a family secret. I can't look her mom in the eye because I feel like I just know too much about her. When I first started working here, the girl was sitting in the clinic and just randomly said, "my mom has to take special pills because she farts SOOO MUCH!!"

had to resurrect this thread -
I have an 8 year old kid sitting in my office with a stomach ache. I'm sending him home, not a complainer and he's white than my lab coat. So while he's waiting he's sitting there wondering what could be wrong with him...
"I don't have the flu - i got a shot for that."
"I don't have a cold, i'm not sneezing."
"Maybe I have shingles.."
Me: "And why on earth would you think you have shingles"
"I heard it on TV"
I had a little guy a few weeks ago who came in saying "I feel like I am going to pass away." (I think he meant pass out.) Side note, a little gatorade and we evaded death!)

You should have given him a saltine, Snowy!!
I have a special needs student who just had his diagnosis changed from type 1 to type 2 diabetes (long story). He had a diabetes center appointment yesterday and informed me that he was going to see a "dieticianist" to help with his diet in a few months.
My heart is broken. I just had a little 2nd grader tell me he knew about Santa. He was sad.
"It all started with me askin about the tooth fairy. She told me the truth so I asked about santa....Now I wish I had never asked."
