Some days you just need a pick me up - especially at work - and it's all about the little things. These are a random collection of some of those little things that have given me a boost here and there during my workday.
1. My kids knowing me better than I know myself:
Me: (after getting tongue tied during a math lesson) I don't know what's wrong with me!
Student: It's because you forgot to drink your Diet Pepsi after recess.
Me: Wow...you're right.
Student: I know.
2. Awesomely wrong test answers:
Q: What is one form of art that the First Americans contributed to our society today?
A: Martial Arts
(I had a good laugh...after I finished banging my head on my desk.)
3. Learning about the perspective of our country's economy from 7-year-olds:
4. Unabashed, and unconditional forgiveness from children:
On Halloween, one of my "ninjas" asked me to tie his sleeve up, and I did. In a bow. He just stood there for a second, until I realized....
"Ninjas don't do bows, do they?"
"Umm...not really."
"Sorry, man. I only have girls."
"It's ok."
The gracious ninja allowed me correct my bow into a manly knot.
5. Awesome co-workers that "get me"...and my sense of humor:
From: Me
To: Co-Worker
Subject: Report Cards...Done, Done, Dooone
My former egregious error of utilizing the terminology "Honor Roll" has been thoroughly corrected and exacting pains were taken to remove the aforementioned offensive language, eradicating the term in it's entirety from both my report cards and my vocabulary in a most permanent nature.
They can be reprinted at your convenience and your leisure.
Warmest regards to you.
*****
From: Co-Worker
To: Me
Subject: Report Cards...Done, Done, Dooone
Your efficiency and expediency in the tumultuous and unequivocally important manner is completely appreciated and magnanimously applauded.
6. Hearing "Look what I drew!" and getting so much more entertainment than I expected when I look:
Like I said, it's all about the little things...
