Kids are insane

So I've spent the last week straight with kids. Wednesday - Friday working at a school, Friday - Sunday with Jonah, and Monday - Tuesday working at school again. Today is my first day off in a week, and I slept for 12 hours... it was fantastic.

Anyways, I've decided that kids really do say the strangest things. Here are a couple of my favorites from the week.



I was told by a little girl that she likes my "teenager shoes" (converse). The same little girl asked me how old I was, so I told her to guess. She said I look 30, and was shocked when I said I was 20. Then she proceeded to tell me that I look like I should work at as hospital, and I'm too young to get married.

I worked in a classroom with a 5th grade boy that was in my day care group last summer. On the last day in his class, he held up a sign the he made for me across the class that said "BYE!" When I told him that it really was my last day, he crossed it out and wrote "DON'T LEAVE!!!" and gave me one of the saddest faces I've ever seen.

At church on Sunday, I was holding Jonah, and he said "down," so I put him down. Another little girl I babysit wanted me to hold her, so I picked her up. Jonah had a complete meltdown. He threw himself to the ground and screamed bloody murder in the foyer right before church was about to start. I guess I'm not allowed to hold other kids....

Later, when the service started, I went up front to sing with the worship team. The whole time Jonah was standing on a chair, pointing at me saying "my Nenni!" really loud.

Again, later that service, my mom gave Jonah goldfish crackers to try and distract him. He takes two out of the bag, bites the face off of one and says in a squeaky voice "OH NO! My nose!" and then proceeds to do the same thing to the other fish and said "OH NO! My nose too!" My mom was in a silent fit of giggles.

Lastly, had to "borrow" a kid from his kindergarten class to work on reading with him. It was the lady I was subbing for's birthday, so I had all the kids make her cards to surprise her. As he's coloring on his card he says "I love Mrs. Thiele A LOT, but not as much as Andy the babysitter. I'm going to marry her."
