Hello all! I'm back with another installment. I actually have 2 installments. Most of the time when I post to The Daley Laugh, I usually tell stories about what has been happening in my classroom. At times, I hear a story from another teacher that is "blog worthy". I have a story from my classroom and my partner teacher's. Thanks partner for sharing the story with me. I got a good laugh out of it.
Meet Chester. He's a very enthusiastic child and does NOT hold his tongue for anyone. He keeps it real at all times. Let's just say that Chester is raw and uncut. This young man will tell you when his mom is dating someone new. He'll tell you that she leaves the house at night after he's supposed to be asleep (A note to those of you who have small children...be careful of what you say or do in front of your children. Trust me...the teacher knows ALL of your business.). He doesn't have a problem telling you about yourself. Not many people know how to take him. I like him, he has plenty of personality. When that little boy grows up, he will be a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, Chester is not in my class. He's in my partner teacher's class. However I have been blessed with the opportunity of meeting him.
Today one of Chester's classmates decided that he/she would get too close and invade his personal space. Big mistake...Chester was not having it! When the child got close enough, Chester exclaimed, "UGH! Get outta my face! Your breath smells like DOO-DOO!" Let's just say that quieted the stank breath child down. In the past he has told a certain child in my class (whose breath is kicking like a Jackie Chan movie), "Shaneequa! Back up! You know I don't roll with you like that! Your breath stinks!" So if you're looking for the truth and you want it raw and uncut, Mr. Chester will be glad to give it to you.
The second half of our story happened in my classroom. A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to "The Riddler". To refresh your memory, he is the star of my post entitled "When Is Your Birthday?". Our story begins while we were meeting on the carpet. Another teacher came to visit my classroom and I got up from my seat to speak with them. As I'm walking back to my seat, one of my little angels decided to give "The Riddler" some advice on why he should use lotion.
Angel #1: UGH! What is wrong with your skin?!?!?!
The Riddler: What????
Angel #1: Your skin is really dry!
The Riddler: So!
Angel #1: So?!?!?! ILK! That looks nasty. It's so dry! You look like an alligator! You need to put some lotion on!
Now, I had the option of allowing the conversation to continue. However, if I didn't stop the conversation I would have had to deal with "The Riddler" crying about his ashy skin. The little "Angel of Lotion" would not have stopped because she was so disgusted with the state of his skin. It wasn't worth it. However, I will admit that I found the conversation VERY amusing. Just remember...Take it from my kids, Binaca and Vaseline Intensive Care is everyone's friend.
