So glad they feel comfortable and want to share with me, but really?
"Mrs. Y, his cut has pus coming out of it - wanna see?"
One more time that having 3 boys of my own helps on the job.
PS - I did go see, armed with a band aid.
What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday, a girl fell and cut her head - requiring stitches, Today, another girl came to me and asked for a band aid. When I asked her what happened I had to smile as she informed me "I broke a nail playing tether ball".
What a difference a day makes.

Depends who you ask
Same incident - 3 stories:
From the boys "Mrs Y - the girls are torturing Arthur!"
From the girls "Mrs Y - Arthur won't let us pet him"
From Arthur (in response to "Hey bud, what's going on?")
"I have no idea"

Time
A first grade boy, who has never complained at recess before came up to me quite upset: "Alex keeps changing the time machine in our game". Thinking I had a perfectly reasonable question, I asked "what would happen if you just refused to go to the new time?" The look on his face when he responded " I could NEVER do that!" told me I crossed some sort of 7 year old boy line.
Oops.
Oops.
Just wait!
From a couple of first grade boys:
Mrs Y - Girls are so confusing! They ask us to chase them then get mad at us when we do! What should we do?
Rather than say what I really wanted to say ("Oh honey - just wait) I put on my grown up hat and instead said "I'm so glad you stopped when they asked you to. Why don't you go play soccer?"
Hopefully they'll think about those words 10 years from now.

New member of the Rat Pack?
I passed the line of Kindergartners going to lunch and casually said "have a good lunch!" One little guy responded with "you have a better one".
Pretty sure if he knew to wink and point at me he would have. Might even have called me "doll".

Nah nah nah nah boo boo
Apparently "Nah nah nah nah boo boo" is still the thing to say when you want someone to chase you on the playground. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
What does it even mean? And how in the world did that get started?!
