5 Things I Wish 4 Year Olds Knew..

1) A line means one behind another. No matter how many times we line up, everyone always rushes to the front. This is mind boggling to me because we have a line leader, yet, when you ask who the line leader is, 10 of them raise their hands. Uh, no. Check the job chart. And, no, Kameron, just because you were line leader last week, doesn't mean you are line leader this week. You have a new job this week, remember, you have been doing it every morning. It's called calendar helper. We lined up shortest to tallest on Thursday. We then proceeded to march around the school with rhythm sticks. Why when we step out of the classroom do I have 5 of the taller boys in front of the shortest kid, Yindy? Why?!

2) Just because someone has something you want, does not mean you can bite, kick, poke, slap, or exchange any sort of physical contact with that child. No, that truck, football, computer, etc. is not yours. Just because you want it, doesn't mean you can have it. I want some Sonic chili cheese tots with onions right now, but that doesn't mean I am going to slap the person in the car next to me to get them.

3) Calling my name 100 times and banging on my thigh is not going to get my attention any faster than just saying "Miss L" once. Do I bang on you to get your attention?! No. So get away from my thigh

4) I do not need kids to be an adult. And just because I am old enough to have 5, I do not have any. I am not sure why kids think that to be an adult that you need to have kids. I would explain to them that I am not married, but that wouldn't work because their parents aren't married. Do these kids not read my blog? I am 22! I am an adult!

5) I want to go home just as much as you do. I hear it at least 5 times a day. "Miss L, I wanna go home." So I look at whoever just said it and say, "You know what, so do I." This also works well for the "I want my mom" and the "My head hurts" and the "I have to go to the bathroom" comments.
