don't call me bummer

i mostly document preschool quotes for me to remember. i need some happy memories of this job right now because it's a little hard for me to get up in the morning sometimes. i keep reminding myself of what nate has always said to me: keep on keepin on.

me, pointing to the earth on a puzzle: what planet is this?
G: the really big ball
me, pointing to uranus on a puzzle: what planet is this?
G: the really cool ball

(at lunch, as we're passing the green beans around the table - we eat family style)
G: hollllla! gimme the beans, boy!
N: we don't say holla at school. we say "please"
G: hollllla! please gimme the beans, boy!
N: ms. lawler! he said it! he's not being nice!

when J dropped his milk on the floor (happens at least twice a day), i said "bummer!"
later, i found J sitting in the corner sobbing.
me: J, what's wrong?
J, between sobs: you....called.....me.....bummmmmmmer!

  2. Jess, these are hysterical. I keep a log of the crazy things my 13-year-olds say because it makes me happy too.
