PreK says

Monday:

5 year old girl: "My tummy hurts."

Me: "We are going home very soon (10 minutes). Make sure you tell Mommy when you get home."

5 year old boy: "My mommy says your tummy hurts when you poop is hard."

Me: "....................."

Today:

After a crazy first half of our morning it was time for snack. We were having a special extra sugary birthday cupcake snack, when the fire alarm goes off.

Me: "Boys and Girls put everything down and get your coat. We need to quietly walk outside." (or something like that)

Most of the class: "What about my snack? I'm not done with it."

Me: "We will finish it later."

BIG.SUGAR.MESS

I suppose when emergencies arise, grab the sugar and the sweets!
