Reasons to Like Four Year Old (5)

I was walking down the hall with my stuff to go home.  One of my kids and his dad was walking behind me. I overheard this.

Child: That's Ms. Brenda.  She's going home.
Dad: Yeah?
Child: She's my teacher.
Dad: I know that.

I love my job.

While trying to read a story to help teach them the word hypothesis:

Child 1: I can't see the story!
Child 2: Move so I can see!
Child 3: It's because she's small!
Child 2: No it's because she's short!
Child 1: Not it's because she's skinny! Hey! Why are you so skinny?!

All of this was pretty much yelled.  They have no mental filter.

Child: When are we going to use the parachute?
Me: I'm not sure.  Maybe next week.
Child: How about Monday?
Me: Monday might be good.
Child: I'm going to write a lesson plan to make sure we do the parachute on Monday.  Don't let me forget to write my lesson plan when we come inside so we can do the parachute on Monday.

I know I'm doing my job right when my kids know that I follow my lesson plans.
