Feel The Love?

On Tuesdays at the day care I take the "big" kids (kindergarteners) to the movies at the theater in American Fork. We usually have to wait for a little while after the movie for our driver (teacher Lisa) to pick us up. The kids love climbing on the rocks in front. The other day the following happened:

Dawn: "Oh, Ethan. Don't jump from one rock to another. That is dangerous."

Ethan: "I don't care."

Dawn: "Well I do. And anyway what if you fell down and broke your arm or got cut and started bleeding. That would be bad. When teacher Lisa got here she would probably be REALLY mad at me...she might even tell me I can't come and work at the school anymore."

Ethan: (Thinking this information through) "Well....you're not really my favorite teacher anyway."

Dawn: "So you wouldn't care if teacher Lisa told me I couldn't work there anymore?"

Ethan: Shrugging his shoulders, "No."

I really feel like I am making an impact in these kids lives....it is the reason I get out of bed each day.
