So I'm on this kick of telling you my kid stories from work...one of these days I'll have more motivation to move past that, but I'm entertained for now...
So, yesterday night I went to this house with 2 brothers. By far, poorest house I've been to yet. They clearly have no beds to sleep on--no furniture to sit on, their walls are covered with comic book posters. I knew that these boys were really excited for me to come--in fact I had one of them throw a tantrum when I had to reschedule my appt earlier in the week. I come in, am saying hi to everyone---the 5 year old says "Miss Laaaauuuurra! I have a surprise for you!" And I thought, "Aww, how cute." He leaves for a minute and then brings me a plastic cup filled with juicy juice---and his mom tells me he filled it at least 10 minutes prior for when I would come.
But then today, we were playing with the kids and one of my coworkers said to a child "We don't put our hands in our pants if we're earning water table." I laughed so hard---mostly because I understand exactly what she was talking about and who she was talking to without even looking...a child who loves to scratch her bottom, but puts her hand inside her pants....and it's not abnormal for me to hear a sentence like that in my day to day now. Hilarious!
