The Terrific Two's

Anybody who knows me knows that I work with two year olds at a daycare. A really great daycare. Today I worked longer than usual and decided to make mental notes in my head about all the funny things I heard said or said myself. Here's what I remember...it's pretty entertaining! (Names changed for security.)

Things I Said:

• "No Billy, we don't color on our lips."
• "Boys and girls, leave your hearts on the table and go to your centers!" (we colored hearts today to decorate the room for Valentine's Day)
• "Well Sarah, I don't know why your poopie is green today."
• "We can't go on a bear hunt today because you were too loud in the halls."
• "We don't bite our friends."
• "Be nice to the pages." (of a new book)

Things I Heard:

• "Go poopie go!" (from a girl going potty)
• "My dinosaur's name is Dino-Billy!"
  
• "Santa Claus took my Dora shoes to clean them then he's bringing them back tonight."
• "My mommy said I can have snack anytime I want." (from a kid wanting snack at 10 am.)

And the Best Part... A Conversation I Had:

Sarah: "I have a Cinderella dress but I can't wear it right now."
Me: "Oh really? Why's that?"
Sarah: "Well, it has a little bit of cereal on it and a little bit of pee."

Daycare life...it keeps me young. Or at least is increasing my stress handling capability.
