Each day I wake with a [semi] positive outlook on life. I work hard. I enjoy my job. I love my dog. Overall, I am a nice (enough) person.
Somethings that I don't enjoy, I apologize for any repetition:
boogers
untied shoes
boogers
unnecessary touching (i.e. hugs)
boogers
tattling
boogers
I love my students with all of my heart, or just shy of that amount. However, I have a new addition to my list of things that I don't enjoy: TEETH!
One student lost a tooth, hit the jackpot with the tooth fairy, and now they're all losing teeth. If I may correct myself, they are all pulling their teeth out for the cash. Each student, with the exception of one. This student is a self-proclaimed cry baby who has literally told me, "my mom treats me like a baby, that's why I cry all the time"... The kid will not, I mean will not allow anyone near her mouth to aid in the pulling of a tooth because of the pain involved. I took a photo of the latest tooth issue this student is struggling with. you can see the two baby teeth with an adult tooth coming in, full force, under it.
It took everything in me to ignore the desire to reach around and yank it out of that mouth!
Here's the deal: I haven't blogged in nearly a month. I have little to no excitement in my life currently, so I have nothing to write about. The loss of this particular tooth has been the highlight of 2012 for me. I bet you are all so jealous of my life.
jaque, I really enjoy your blog, but this picture is about all I can handle: I HATE loose teeth! I'm so glad I teach preschool, because every school year I will have just a couple of kids loose teeth. And I just pray those suckers fall out at home, cuz I sure am not helping! I'm really not sure what I'll do when my own kids start losing teeth!
ReplyDeletehaha, i wish you the best of luck with that! it's so funny how indifferent some kids are, while others cry all day long... such hilarious people.
