Boss’s kids…and my kid.
Boss and I had dinner last night. I heard the latest about her day:
1. A kindergarten boy left the bathroom naked…except for his shirt. In his hand? His underwear. Filled with poop. Apparently, the wall had received a new paint job.
2. Another kindergarten teacher peeked into the boys bathroom after hearing some singing and found a little boy with his pants and underwear down around his ankles as he used the urinal. He was shaking his butt back and forth and singing with his hands up in the air. She asked him to come see her after he was done. She wanted to inform him that a hands-on approach might be the way to go. He walked out of the bathroom when done to see her…with his pants and underwear still down around his ankles.
3. The bathroom sinks have those faucets that turn on by pushing down on a round cylinder shape – I think that’s an early 1980′s style. Anyway, they’re sometimes hard to push which is why Boss walked into the bathroom to see that a little boy had climbed on top of the sink so he could step on the nozzle for other people to wash their hands.
As for my day? I woke up this morning to a cold nose and air on my face. I opened an eye and saw Little Filthy demanding we go pay homage to the breakfast gods. I grabbed my phone and snapped him staring. Monster.
Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

I will take a cold nose any day over waking up to my toddler handing me her (clean) diaper while she stands there naked, and WAY too proud of herself.
Little Filthy looks soft. The conditoner comes across the pixles.

And, LF looks so damn cute! He luuuuurvs you!

1. You know, us dog owners don’t get to escape moments that are eerily similar to this (or worse).
2. I’m always amused by these people I see in the bathroom who put both hands on their hips while using a urinal. Heh. It happens and apparently it starts at a young age.
3. I hate those kinds of faucets. Good for him!
4. Awww, I like waking up to puppy kisses. Unconditional love is a good thing

Yep, that’s pretty much how they are.
Kid: Can I go in the bathroom?
Me: What for? (totally not registering that English is not this kid’s first language and he was just asking to go to the bathroom)
Kid: Because the poop is coming out of my butt.
Me: GO.

Once Benjamin pooed in the tub and smeared it everywhere!!!! GROSS> GROSS > GROSS. Still haven’t really gotten over that one.
Thanks for sharing another Boss story. I love her.

Pinkgerbil –
*laugh* I’m never going to live down that conditioner thing. heh. He is very soft, in fact. And yes, a cold nose does sound better.

SnarkyRunner –
Yeah, I gotta say, this is the roughest year Boss has ever had in a school. She has germ issues so the fact that she teaches kindergarten is sort of ridiculous. heh.
That reminds me, I’m going to take a video of this animal to post.

LynchSeattle –
You have to tell that story about the paint job your bedroom got. It’s a shame that people can’t fully appreciate your dopler effect, though, in text.
And yeah, I gotta say, of all the ways to wake up, doing so with a lick on the cheek is not so bad.

KT –
That sounds just like her kids! Do you teach kindergarten?
October 13th, 2008 at 8:31 am
MsSingleMama – I remember you writing about that!
I wish I could have seen the look of shock on your face as you walked into the bathroom.

Where do you get the conditioner anyways? We do most of our dog shopping at target, and one of our dogs has…. gross? bar soap hair fur. Clean, but not touchable.

I do teach kindergarteners, but not all the time…I’m the music teacher, so I get ‘em all.

@MSM – My son did that one time and I agree, it was THE MOST DISGUSTING THING!!! Now he just gets a thrill out of peeing in the dirty bathwater when he’s done. Thank God for bath/shower combos so I can hose him down. Bleech.
Those stories made me laugh so hard. Ah, kids. Good for a laugh at least.

Thanks for the giggle…
I can relate on so many levels. During my student teaching I had a mother send a note with her child that asked us to make sure her daughter used toilet paper and reminded us of the “front to back” technique. *BLINK* uhhh… your child is 9 lady, there is no way I’m going in there to make sure she wipes, much less discuss proper technique.
