May your child stand upon your shoulders, and reach heights you never could. (Even if not necessarily in Origami ) Not a bad blessing, I think.
The boys I work with are a bit older, but working with SEN does bring out some funny moments. For example, just before Christmas break one boy came up to me and said, "Miss! Have you heard of missile toes?"
My almost 3 year old ran over to me the other week with a gift bag full of goodies, and said "Happy Birthday Mammy Amy!". It wasn't my birthday at all. The gifts she had were for Mother's Day. When she was a bit younger, I showed her a picture card with a cake on, and asked her what it was. To my surprise, she started singing Happy Birthday. I'm gonna say she has a thing about birthdays.
That would be a good crime fighting gadget* for a superhero like Iron Man. *I've called it a gadget, cos I honestly don't know what else to class it as atm.
That's probably the one. My brain has been left under my pillow for a few days now. Not sure why, though.
so, i was working at a preschool in a predominantly white, kind of rural area on the outskirts of this big city. I'd just curled my hair (i have dread locs) and all the little kids were saying I had "wormies" in my hair. So this one little boy has a mop of blond curly hair and i say "Hey! We're twins! I've got curls just like you!" and he says with the most serious expression on his face.... "We are NOT twins. I don't have curls, I have man waves!" he's 4! he's awesome
My son came up with this when he was about 8 years old: 8=100 Me: Okay, how does eight equal one hundred? Him: You put the eight on it side and cut it in half and you got two zeros. Me: Right, I see that. But, where did you get the 1? Him: That's the knife I cut it with.
If you ever need to feel good about using your manners, come by my house. My 3yo will tell you "good job" for anything from saying 'excuse me' to 'sorry'. "Good job saying scuse me, Mommy." "Good job saying tank you, Daddy" 3yo: "Mommy, I say peese. Good job?" Me: "Yes, N. good job saying please."
My little brother Age 10, late at night hopped up on enough sugar and caffeine to give a buffalo a heart attack; "I'm a pretty flufferfly!" as he bounces around on one leg with his arms to his chest and flapping his little hands.
My two year old when seeing his grandma after she decided to try a ponytail: *cries* "Take it off! Take it off NayNay!" Needless to say she took her down. Also (Spoilers for Smash Ultimate's World of Light): Spoiler When watching the bad ending where you beat Galeem and it gets stabbed by Dharkon: "It's dead," just as cheerily as possible.
