Well, I tried to take my break for Hubby Dearest’s sake, and I did. But he got home late, and after ironing for over an hour, a cup of tea and toast, I was creak crackered (knackered, tired)! Tried to get an early night (11pm, early for me!) but was woken but the Lil Princess joining the party at around 4am, then Sonu Singh practically sitting on my head!

And, oh joy, it’s Monday again…!

Half term over, for me at least. It’s teacher training day, so I’m in, but kids have one more day of freedom. My lovely Sister-in -Law (SIL) is looking after them today.

Woke up, managed to briefly check my reader and notifications too… Now need to haul myself into the shower and wake the sprogs!

I am still as tired as I was at the beginning of the weeks break… If not more…

Monday…!WHY!!!!!!!!!!!

My display today

No, not quite, but it’s a follow on from He Farted!
Lovely little pupil at school…not sure if there is a speech impediment, or just immaturity yet, but still… Conversation as follows…
Teacher: “(Pupil’s name), as its your first day you can take the class bear home!”
Pupil: “Yay! Maybe we can go in my shiny new car!”
Teacher : “Ooh lovely!”
Pupil:” Yes a shiny red Mer’sh’ades!”
Teacher:” Wow can I get a ride?”
Pupil :” Yes.”
Teacher:”Is there space for the bear?”
Pupil:” Yeah, he can ‘sh’*t on my lap…”

Cue, discreet giggles amongst staff in classroom!

He farted!

As some of you will have picked up, I work in school, and with kids, there’s always the chance of a bit of a giggle!
Well why would today be any different?
My class are aged 4-5 and it was first day back after Christmas break.
We had an author visit, and our turn to see her was at the end of the day, so lots of tired little munchkins.
One in particular, a beautiful, autistic child was whispering to me that he was tired and wanted mummy.
“Not long now, come and sit by me.”
He came, he sat, he looked at me then
crawled on my lap.
Then let a little one go…
I’m ashamed to say I can’t keep a straight face, toilet humour and all that! I giggled, quietly…
He looked up, smiled, and did it again!
I tried so hard to look serious, but he caught me smirking … And did it again!
Three little poots on my lap!
Its a good thing he’s cute!!!!!
