I have a feeling that my body might be sending out "act naughty" signals to young children. While on parent help duty at TLM's childcare today: 2 kids were squeezed between the bathroom door and the photo wall; three kids fell off chairs as they strained to see the new goldfish; one tried to walk down a slide; two kids decided it was a great idea to flip chairs over (and into other kids); and a pair of twins suck into the kitchen and tried to drink dish-washing liquid.
And every time it's my turn at parent help, the kids seem to act up more than usual.
Combined with my anti-computer ability, I could be some sort of super-villain.
Perhaps the little ones sense inexperience with mass-todler-wrangling the way a big dog senses fear and all at once they rush the guard tower and break over the wall.
ReplyDeletenigel: you're probably right, but I'm not keen to increase my experience levels...
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you wouldn't want more experience with all those kids.
ReplyDeleteI would say it is just good that you made it out of there alive.
angela: well, they are mostly really great kids, but I just don't want to experience too many more kid-squashings, falls and toppling Christmas trees - not all in one morning, anyway :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave lady. And don't blame yourself, I think even the little ones get a little wild on the run up to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog. Wish I could write like you indeed!
Or a Superhero. Really depends on your perspective.
