Unsolicited Confessions

As anyone who works or lives with kids knows, sometimes they will just blurt things out that you didn’t ask about. It always takes me by surprise.

I have a 5 year old sister. She has no filter and it’s great (until she asks what my boobies ate for. Loudly. In public.)

From the mouth of babes comes the truth

The secret is not to be intimidated. Engage. Get your own back. LOL love it. Love kids. Am a kid at heart. End of confession.
By the way, the sun’s been out 3 days in a row here. Pardon any insanity. I haven’t seen the sun in too long

I work in a first grade class.
I hear things like this EVERY day….
From “My dad lost his job cuz he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to do and now he just eats crackers”
To….
“Mrs Carver? Broccoli will make you poop alot.”

I giggle alot at my job.

  I never get tired of it! Do you? It beats listening to adults complain about the same thing over and over again in the lunch room, doesn’t it?

    I DON’T ever tire of it
    Better yet: I am a one/one aide for a mainstreaming autistic student. HIS tangents and world view are always askew. I like that. Never a dull moment. Never a hidden agenda NO pretense.

    I love autistic kids. There are several quotes from some very clever autistic kids woven throughout my comics
