Funny Things We Say

[stephanie]

I struggle with the "balls" one a lot, . "No Timmy, those are Joey's balls right now...", etc.

I tried hard not to laugh when dcb2 said this after he stood up from going potty in a sitting position: "Look, my penis is hiding!"

Kind of in the same vein....I was reading "The Runaway Bunny" to my dc kids and had just read the part where the mother bunny says to her baby bunny, "If you become a sailboat and sail away from me, said his mother, I will become the wind and blow you where I want you to go." when my adult son walked into the room and heard me read what the baby bunny says to his mother in response: "If you become the wind and blow me, said the little bunny......" I can't read that book with a straight face any more because all I can picture is the look on my son's face when he heard that line and I can barely get through it without laughing - which of course, makes the kids all want to know what's so funny.

Once a dck spilled his milk and started crying. I said "It's okay, you don't need to cry over spilled milk."

Some of you may be too young to remember but "Don't cry over spilled milk" is an old saying.

I tell my kids this all the time. And the other day we'd had 3 spills in a 5 minute period and I audibly took a deep breath to calm myself b/c they were being goofy and messing around which was the reason for the spills. Dcg 5 says, "It's ok Miss Mamamanda. We don't cry over spilled milk. We just clean it up!" Big smile.

That reminds me of when I worked in a Montessori preschool. The teachers were putting new work on the shelves. In Montessori they call everything 'work'. There might be painting 'work', puzzle 'work', etc. No children were there but one teacher was putting out work. She announced she was putting out the 'screwing' work. Then we all started making cracks. It was this manipulative where there are two wooden pieces that are screwed and unscrewed.

Ahhh, that's funny.

One of the 3rd grade boys brought in one of those prank can of nuts things that shoots out a squeaking snake when you open it. He put it up to one of the other kids face before opening it, to which I promptly yelled
"Please don't pop your nuts at other people's face..."
They all stopped and started laughing.
"Ms. Lisa, that sounded so wrong"
I just shook my head. -facepalm-

Yesterday, I had a 2-year-old dcg hold up her cup and say, "I'm having Grandpa's juice." I said, "What's Grandpa's juice?" She said, "Bourbon."

Same here! I have 7 boys and ONE girl in my day care. One of the dcp's calls it a "sausage party" Because of this I'm usually having to speak to the boys about their balls::

I feel as though I say several times a day "Leave Jack's balls alone!" "Don't grab Aiden's balls!" and yesterday's favorite "Why are you sniffing Tom's balls?" (apparently tom had had something stinky on his hands causing the balls he was using to smell funny) But yeah, balls kill me. ::

Well this wasn't in childcare and it was 20 years ago but I was in the mall and stopped at a place called Morrow's Nut House. They mostly sold nuts and some candy I think. There was a young guy working there and without thinking I was looking at the nuts and said "You have nice nuts." Why couldn't it have been a woman clerk?

I did something similar about 18 years ago. I was at work, sorting some product with another female co worker. We were working in the back away from everyone else. The door was open near us, the breeze hit and I said "something suddenly smells good" with out knowing that a co worker had walked up behind me. He responded with a "Thank you". I must of turned a shade of red, right then.

When I worked in a school I finally did ask a daycare dad what he was wearing that smelled so good. It was a cologne and I hate perfumes and colognes as a rule. But that one was awesome. I thought it might be too forward to ask but I finally did. It was Polo.

Not really funny but I just felt weird asking but had to know.
