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.

Wow! That is so depressing--I get that from kids from time to time at school. I think I am the mean 3rd grade teacher at my school.
I loved hearing that story the first time and it was even better the second! I am sad you didn't post Remy's comment about the tents! Just Kidding
Yeah you really arent that good of a teacher. I dont know why people even sign up for your preschool....please save me a spot in the year 2010!!!
Not too long left...My Ethan tells me quite often that I can not be his friend anymore...I tell him great, because I am your parent. You are a fabulous teacher!!
Oh Dawn...YOU are the reason I get out of bed each day. Or at least you will be once we're living close enough for me to come over and visit you on a regular basis!
Mandy-I thought that story was a little too "R" rated for this blog!!
Dawn, you crack me up! You should post every day! You seem to be handling such an awful insult rather well.
