Teachers

My two wonderful baby sisters want to be teachers. Not just any old teacher but elementary school ones. I totally give it up to them. I couldn't do it! They've both worked in the nursery at church and loved it. They would have the funniest stories to share about the kids. Did the child caring thing just skip me? My body cringes when I think about child care. I have taught in primary before but the kids were older and fun. We would lay a blanket out on the floor and take our shoes off before I gave the lesson. Some how I end up in the nursery most Sundays. Don't really know why! Nursery is always loudest when I'm in there. And I eat all the good snacks! For a while nursery had 100's of balls. I would throw them at the kids heads when they fought, cried for no reason, or out of boredom. Most of the kids thought it was funny. The gym/nursery at church has a huge air duct that is perfect for little children to put their fingers in. One kid stuffed some kind bread like food in it. I told them that a monkey was being bad so I locked it in the vent. Warning them that they shouldn't stick anything in there including fingers or the monkey would bite them off! It was great to see how long they stood looking for the monkey. What was funnier was listening to them try to explain the story to their parents. When I first moved here I spread a rumor that I hated all children. Well, I guess it started as a joke at first. Do you know, I rarely babysit. Wonder why? When I am asked to babysit... I tell the parent that I don't guarantee the child will be in the same condition as when they left them. So kudos to my lovely sisters and the decisions they've made. Anthony thinks you are crazy and wants to know why anyone would want to be a teacher.
