More Gems From the Frontlines
I have some stuff scribbled out on paper to write about, both here and over on Nablopomo, but to be honest, the past two out of three nights I fell asleep in my chair around 8:30. I’m thinking that means I’m fairly exhausted and I woke up early today and will do it again tomorrow to cover the 7:30 am shift. I hate when it’s still dark when I get to work. Anyway, do enjoy these nuggets of preschool witticism whilst I get some sleep for an early day tomorrow.

“Is it a pee or a poop?”

“Kowie, I have to poop.”
“Ok, so go poop.”
“I’m not sure exactly where to go.”
“Go exactly in the potty.”
“But, but, but–”
“Remember how you said you were fast like lightening when you poop in the potty? Be the lightening! Be the lightening!!”

(This is a different child, so you know…a lot of the kids are making causal links now, i.e.- ‘I do this because of that’. A lot of the time it makes very little sense, but they’re trying.)
“Mommy’s coming to pick me up because, because, becaaauuuse I went peepee.”
“Mommy is coming to pick you up and you also went peepee.”
“Yeah, yeah, um, but I want Mommy to pick me up every…all the….all the live long day!”
