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.
I sub for my district and have to admit I have a few favorite students. One of them is an 8 yr old boy - we were talking about Minecraft one day and I said to him "I can't look at it when my son plays it. It makes me nauseous." He then puts his hand on top left side of his head and says to me "See right here? That's where your video game nerve is. And older people, like you and my Mom, you don't use your nerve enough so it's getting smaller and you can't play video games the right way. You better play some games so you can make the nerve strong again or you're going to lose it."
I did lose it - I just couldn't stop laughing after he left the office. :-)

I had a first grader who came to see me for a stomach ache. I asked him just where it hurt and he said " it hurts in school" !!
Love these babies !!
