unknownfateIt has been the kind of day where I pray that it's pms that's wrong with me and I'm not really out of my mind. My fuse has been so short this week and the moods have been swingy. But! I did have some funny stuff happen today.
One of those things was what happened at work. My co-teacher had brought out some toy cash registers with play money in them by the time I got there. Also it was Thursday, and for four little girls in the class, that means ballet lessons tonight. So, they were prissing and prancing around and talking about their recitals and their outfits and one of them decided to do a recital then and there.
I'll spare you how hilarious and horrible it was to watch a four year old try to organize other four year olds into a ballet routine that none of them knew and cut to the end where five or six children in dress-up skirts are spinning haphazardly around the circle rug. The 'organizer' was stamping her foot off to the side because 'that isn't how it goes!' and a row of the other kids were sitting on chairs in a circle around the dancers with their fists full of play money. One even gave a "Woo!"
The co-teacher and I traded sideways looks, but didn't laugh outright. We both knew the handfuls of bills were only there because this age has serious sharing issues and anything once played with is automatically yours forever as long as you're touching it. As inappropriate as it looked, no harm was being done. We decided to let the parents have that discussion and hoped no supervisor would happen by in the meantime.
