My assistant was home with a sick child today, so it was just me and a classroom of 3 year olds. It's not as bad as it sounds, there were only 8 of them today and they are mostly little darlings.
Anyhow, two of my little darlings came in from the playground with their pockets completely loaded down with rocks. After reminding them that rocks stay on the playground and helping to empty their pockets, we went on with our day as if nothing happened, until a very big something happened....
While taking out the trash in the bathroom, I bend over to pick up, what I think is a rogue rock that somehow survived our earlier dumping of pockets, only to realize what I've actually picked up is a poop. Yes, a poop! Somehow, some way, there was a small, rock shaped poop on the ground. Niiiice. Only in preschool...well, and maybe Walmart.
So, remember friends, no matter how bad things were at your work today, at least you didn't bend over to pick up someone else's poop. Ha!
Guess what. I STILL love my job. Also, I need more antibacterial soap.
