I'm 26 and that's pretty humiliating. Are they drug testing 11 yr olds?

Urine tests can detect a whole host of medical issues beyond drug use.

I'm wondering why they were embarrassed that the boys could NOT see them handing their urine over.

It's a diabetes test. They're really worried about diabetes here. And pookel: they were embarrassed because they thought the boys wouldn't be able to see them handing over their pee, but they (the boys) could. They were at opposite ends of the gym, but there wasn't a screen blocking the handover.

Maybe they wouldn't have to worry if they stopped putting sugar in oh, loving everything. But no, I love cooking Korean food when it's not dredged in the stuff.

I'm an aide in a fourth grade classroom. A few months ago we had a substitute teacher and because the kids were well behaved she was calling them over group by group to show them a relevant educational youtube video on her phone. Now keep in mind, I didn't watch the video myself, but the woman is like 70 years old and most of the kids were reacting pleasantly and calmly entertained by it so I figured there wasn't a high risk that it was something inappropriate. She finishes showing one group and one boy BURSTS away from her and starts staggering toward me from across the classroom, laughing so hard he is squealing and shrieking, like almost crying with laugher. "MISS BRAVO MISS BRAVO" "What's up?" "THE SUBSTITUTE SHOWED US A YOUTUBE VIDEO" "Uh huh?" "AND AT THE BEGINNING.... THERE WAS AN AD"  "Uh huh?""AND THERE WAS A WOMAN"  (oh god oh god)"..... IN A BIKINI!!!" And he ran away cackling. sweeperbravo has a new favorite as of 18:30 on Jun 7, 2015 |

We went over to my friend's house today, where my mom taught my kids and my friend's kids to make and decorate their own kites. Friend's daughter, almost 6, drew some hearts and flowers. Friend's older daughter, 8, drew a nice landscape with birds and a flower. My son, 10, drew a Minecraft creeper face. My younger son, 7.5, drew an Erlenmeyer flask with green clouds coming out, and explained that it was chlorine gas.-

"Adorable in a bizarre way" is a great summary of that child.  Recently he bumped a button in Bloons Monkey City on his tablet and accidentally used up his precious bloonstones. He was screaming and throwing a fit at school, and his special ed teacher suggested writing a letter to the creators. He came home with this on paper, and then typed it up and e-mailed Ninjakiwi: quote:Dear creators of bloons monkey city, I have a suggestion on using bloonstones. When using monkey boost or red hot spikes maybe you could make an "are you sure" button before buying monkey boost or red hot spikes. I bumped a button and it made me use 20 bloonstones that I had saved. This upset me very much and ythat is why I came up with this suggestion. Thank you for your consideration.

pookel, your (special needs?) son is more rational and coherent than most thirteen to twenty-somethings I know. Good on you, Simon.

That's a remarkably polite and coherent letter for having been written in a fit of frustration. Kudos to that kid.

That is the basic rule of all and any customer service interaction. "I am upset with thing. I suggest thing be altered, thank you." You get so much out of phrasing it that way. Glad he caught onto that early. Also, your son sounds adorable, I love the little flask story.

I think his teacher helped him a bit, but he was so darn proud of himself for writing a real letter. This is the same highly verbal autistic kid I posted about upthread who once told me "Note: I did not ask for TWO pieces of toast" and who tried to lecture his second-grade class about plasma when his teacher told them there were three states of matter. I have no shortage of stories about him, that's for sure.

He sounds pretty great, not gonna lie. Oh hey, I do have a kid story to share - last summer, my daughter (6 at the time) ran into one of the teacher aides she knew at the food court. The aide said "Hey, how's my little princess?" Kiddo frowned at her and said, "I'm not a princess, I'm a real girl."

She was smiling and laughing while signing CAR + HAT. I looked around and figured out that that's what she was calling taxis. Those little placards do look kinda like hats!

I love it when kids name poo poo. gently caress, I can't remember if I brought this up or not, but a while back, a friend's niece was over and she's very, very quiet. She doesn't really understand how people's names work, so one girl was "Galileo" for example. I leaned down and asked her if she knew my name. :"Cookies.""Sure, why not."

My two year old son has gotten into the habit of saying "uh-oh" ALL. DAY. Just a constant stream of "uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh". Yesterday he was in the backseat with his cousin (five months older and a helluva lot more verbal) and sure enough, my kid spouts off with his mantra when the song on the radio ends. My nephew looks at him and says, very reassuringly "Is okay, Ducky, is okay!" Later, when I was babysitting said nephew my son started crying for some two year old reason. I look at my nephew whose just staring at my kid and I say to him: "Isn't Ducky a crybaby?" Nephew: "I KNOW." *turns away to go play blocks on the other side of the room* ....My family calls my kid "Ducky" because he makes the duck face when he's concentrating super hard.

My 8-year-old son likes jokes. Yesterday at Dinner I was mentioning how I love the show Hannibal to my parents at the table, and he decides to mishear it and comes up with "Hammibal" a pig that eats bacon for breakfast.

Holy crap, today one of my kids accidentally wrote "Chris Hamsworth" instead of Hemsworth and another kid saw it immediately screamed "TEACHER HE'S DELICIOUS!"

bringmyfishback posted:GARLIC BREAD One of the things I remember from my time in Korea is the corn bread they sold at the bakery. Obviously it was made by someone who had heard of the name cornbread, but had no idea conceptually what it was. Behold then the wonders of a loaf of squishy white bread with whole kernels of sweetcorn suspended in it. I'd almost be willing to forgive this if it were some small independent store run by a well meaning grandma trying something new, but this was at Paris Baguette, an international chain. This product went through a committee and this is what they came up with. On a more relevant note. When I was teaching in Korea one of my students didn't show up for class on Monday, so I asked the other children where she was, as some of them went to the same elementary school before coming to my school for English. The answer I got was, "Lola throat cut". I was a bit shocked and asked if she was ok and what happened, and they kept repeating "Lola throat cut", and drawing their fingers across their throats. Eventually one girl added the word doctor to the sentence and I remembered that I had been told the week before that Lola wouldn't be coming to class that day because she was having her tonsils removed. A procedure I would probably not describe as having one's throat cut, but oh well at least they were trying.

My daughter was about 2, maybe younger. She was napping, so I started to play a bit of Fall Out Vegas. For the uninitiated, it's an open-world FPS and is really quite gory in places. She woke up from her nap and I brought her into the room. I don't normally play violent games in front of her, but I happened to just be running between landmarks, so I figured I'd get to where I was going, save, and switch off. If I encountered any enemies, I'd just run away from them. What I failed to take into account was that I had a companion with me. He spotted a human enemy and promptly shot him the head with a rifle. When you kill someone in Fallout it goes into this lovely slow motion cinematic of them dying/exploding or whatever. Luckily, this was a gore-free kill, and the guy just slumped to the floor. I awaited comment from my impressionable daughter. "Oh! Man fall over!" Yeah, that'll do.

It'd have to be half "[ASK] me about working in a funeral home" and half "[ASK] me about working for insane fundamentalist Baptist homeschooling hoarders" I was semi interested before. Now I'm actually quite interested. For content, my 3 year old a couple of days ago asked me if I had a friend. I said yes, I have a few friends. He then told me that he didn't have millions of friends. He didn't have one friend. Matthew (a kid from his daycare) told him he couldn't be his best friend anymore because he and him mum were going to jail, and they'd never see each other again. Matthew and his mother are not going to jail. The thought of this happening clearly bothered my son enough to come to me and tell me all about it, and make sure I had friends (and I assured him he still had lots of friends aside from Matthew anyway) but he didn't seem overly concerned. This thing is happening. Oh well.

We want the horrifying details, sir or madame. Content: Last Thursday, when I picked my daughter up from school, she decided to tell me what she did at recess. "I was an Allosaurus, and I chased ALL THE BOYS!" She curled her arms up into little claws. "RAAARRR!" Good job, sweetie. You get 'em.

My boss's five year old daughter is obsessed with presidents, for some reason. Makes him read her encyclopedia entries about them in lieu of bedtime stories, has a poster of all of them on her wall, etc. Last Christmas, he told her they were going to watch the Garfield special, one of his childhood favorites, and she got really excited. After a few minutes, she got really pouty and told him to turn it off. When he asked why, she replied, very accusingly: "You told me this was about President Garfield, and it's just about an orange cat  "
