You hear so many times that working with young children makes life interesting. It’s so true. Over the years, I’ve found myself saying (and doing) things I never thought I would. Here’s a list of what I found the most hilarious (not in any particular order)

  1. It was a hard day today…but hey! I only got slapped once!
  2. Did you know it actually really hurts when someone bites your wrist?
  3. HEY HEY! We do NOT flush puzzle pieces down the toilet, or drink the toilet water.
  4. My room is too quiet…where is the mess and where is the kid inevitably pouring red paint on the carpet?
  5. Yes, that is your nose, and no you can’t pick it.
  6. Boogers are not a food source.
  7. We keep our fingers out of our friend’s butts!
  8. Taking your clothes off and dancing on a table is not okay.

I’m sure there are a lot more, but it’s all my brain can think of for today. I hope they made you smile at least!
