Ann over at Vodka's Mom's place. I'm trying not be confused. :-)

That was hilarious. Especially the hands in the pants. Yikes.

from the moment I stepped foot in a classroom as a volunteer I realized that more so than in any other field, good elementary school teachers are born and not made.

So very true.

Who started all this "buddy" stuff? I remember first hearing it maybe 15 yrs ago? "Come on, buddy..

Didn't that used to be a dog's name?

Hilarious stuff. And me, right on the nose...

Thank you for the laughs...

Classroom volunteering is not for the meek. You captured the experience very accurately, so you probably didn't pay someone to attend for you, because you were frozen with fear. I mean, what kind of mom would do that? Uh, toast just popped. . .gotta go.

2010-03-16T23:25:16.373-04:00

This is hilarious, and oh-so true. Kids are awesome, aren't they?! (And to be honest, it's not always the rookie volunteers that encounter these situations!)

My kid is in a co-op preschool, too. I confess that I never know whose turn it is. And I am OCD with the hand sanitizer. Thanks for the funny, Ann!

2010-03-16T15:53:36.134-04:00

That's hilarious!! Only someone who has actually been in those unfortunate shoes knows how real this is, and how it's only hilarious after many days of rest... or when someone else reads it ;-)

Funny! Funny! Funny!

2010-03-16T11:28:59.339-04:00

So very, very good.

My kid's in a co-op pre-school so I'm there a few times a month. Apparently, I am the go-to "barf mom." Jealous?

Hilarious!!!!

It has to be good for the parents to see what the teacher goes through.

2010-03-16T06:03:07.241-04:00

Ann, maybe next time you should volunteer for something easier, like pison missionary work.

2010-03-16T00:39:40.407-04:00

"Buddy? Yes, you buddy. No, not him buddy. OF COURSE I KNOW YOUR NAMES, don’t be silly, you Silly."

That was my favorite.

2010-03-16T00:18:36.431-04:00

Is it wrong to be thankful my kids are grown and I don't have to do that any more?

God bless you Ann! Surely you've earned a place in heaven.

We have dad volunteers...they are always SOOO tired by lunch! In fact, now that I think about it, MOST of them don't stay past lunch. LOL

Ah, the tiny-child classes.

Followed (in my case) with the FULL-BODY WIPEY.
