Fired By a 4 yr Old
September 21, 2009
All these years I’ve heard my share of funny things come out of my kiddos mouths. When making the decision to go to work with a group of 4 yr olds, I hadn’t thought of the funny things I was going to hear from other people’s kiddos.
I’m learning that even kids know that it’s Monday and they’re a little off their game when they come back into the classroom after the weekend. This morning it was a chore to get them on task. One little boy was particularly upset with me when I tried to get him to settle down with his worksheet.
Me-Come sit down and we’ll get started on your worksheet.
Boy-I don’t want to!
Me-This week we’re learning the letter ‘b’ and you can find all the buttons and circle them.
Boy-I DON’T WANT TO!
Me-You’ve got to do the worksheet so that you can go play.
Boy-You’re fired!
Have a great day~

Not that I take pleasure in other people’s challenges, but it’s always “nice” to know that we’re never alone in this battle to get our kids to do what is right or what they’re supposed to do when they don’t want to do it!
That’s why I couldn’t work with 4 year old… I don’t think I would consider that “a little off your game” I think I would consider it “smart mouth little brat who needs to learn respect”. You are a good woman Jen Lang!
Haha That’s great!
I’m with Casey. You amaze me with your patience.
Ok, the Donald Trump poster needs to come off this kid’s wall. Maybe we can find him one of a drugged-out heavy metal band or something a little more appropriate for his age group!
Don’t ya wonder where he learned that??? How many Nannies did Mamma let go in front of this little fellow? Or dog walkers, LOL!
HAHA! Yes! Clearly…he rehired you
