Today I reached a consensus with one of the kids: Everyone has a butt, even adults. We also arranged a carnival party today. A norwegian carnival custom is to decorate a paperbag with cats, fill it with goodies and hit it while we shout "hit the cat out of the bag". Alhazred has a new favorite as of 19:19 on Feb 27, 2019 |

Fleta Mcgurn posted:M: "Miss Fleta, if I was Rosa Parks, I would do a gun." Sometimes we visit the mounted police, one time we did it one of the kids kept asking where the police officer's gun was and if he could hold it (cops in Norway are usually unarmed). Another time the police officer asked if anyone wanted to sit on the horse and one of the kids started to shake with joy. I was actually kinda worried that she would explode in a cloud of happiness the moment she was put on the horse.

I assigned a group of boys a new jigsaw puzzle as their center activity today. Four of them start putting it together. One comes back from the bathroom and sees that it's a picture of like some horses in front of a farm. "I don't want to do this puzzle  I want to do the pirate one." He sulked for maybe 5 seconds and then got over it and started helping. A few minutes in I hear him say in a precious voice "Guys look!!! There's part of a butterfly!"

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:My son, who is almost 5, has been asking me about Apex (he asks me about the video games I play after he goes to bed). So I've described it as a sports game with colorful characters (left out the part about the bloodsport and guns) where the players have to loot the most treasure and escape the island. And then I describe "the guys", which is his term for any colorful game characters (one of his favorite things to do is just sit at the Killer Instinct screen and pick the characters and narrate 'cool' stories for them, this is "looking at the guys"). So he knows about Wraith, Gibby, Pathfinder, etc. Anyway last night at bedtime he stands up in bed and announces that he knows all the rules to Apex Legends, and proceeds to tell me them: xposting from the Apex thread

I work in a preschool. Today I heard someone getting upset so went over to the sandpit to find out what was going on. Turned out that S (3) had been calling other kids "old fart" and had recruited a couple of the other boys into also calling one girl that. I took S aside to speak to him about kind words and asked him why he was saying that to the other kids. "When people drive slowly in front of our car we call them old fart."

I was doing face paint for the last day of Carnaval and G3 refused "because I am more guapo without this." He didn't mind when I got him with some Holi paint powders, though.

Out of the blue, my 4 year old son stopped playing with his toys, came over to me, said "Daddy, I don't like you because you're old" and then calmly went back to playing. I'm 37.

"Miss Fleta, are you fat or not fat?" I...don't know how to answer that, future Internet Male. Well, I offered to sit on him and let him decide, but he turned it down.

The recent annoying trend is saying that two people in the class are "novios" and it's starting to make us all crazy. Y: "Ms. Fleta, A is your novio." ME: "Too young." G1: "M is your novio!" ME: "Still too young." G3: "Okay, your novio is G4 because he is more old." (he was held back and is a year older.) G4: *nonsensical moaning sound that comprised the entirety of his communication this morning* G1: "Ohhh! Okay, G3 is your novio! OOOOOOOH!" G3: "No. I am very guapo, but is not true." I made the mistake of saying my novio was the trash can and then I had to "kiss" it.

Some of the sculptures in the parks we visit are really phallic:  Turns out that this really inspired the kids. And it's cool that they enjoy the art and are able to retain the image of it, but if you don't know the context it looks like they're making dicks out of play-doh

Fleta Mcgurn posted:"Miss Fleta, are you fat or not fat?" So many children talk about your appearance that I kind of want to know what you actually look like vs. my mental picture. My 4yo nephew is adamant that we watch him transform (be all curled up on the floor and then stand up with arms wide) approximately once a minute. He's really into these one step transformers that are honestly pretty cool. We gave him a Grimlock for Christmas and a T-Rex turning into a robot basically broke his brain.

Life has gotten kind of strange, Alhazred, don't you think? When we were kids, we just had to worry about trees or melons growing in our stomachs. Now, it's a whole 'nother baby. It's weird how much more disturbing that is.

Going to art museums with kids can be a mixed experience. One time there was a chair made out of bread on display. On one hand I thought "That's really cool" on the other hand I though "poo poo, a chair made out of bread and I have bunch of kids with me!" Another time we were visiting the Munch museum. The kids were super-hyped because we had talked about the Scream for about a month. When we arrived we not only discovered that the Scream was not on display but also that the guide's idea of "an exiting experience for kids" was to look at Munch's old paint brushes.
