People Getting Hurt Is Funny
So, I was just talking about how sometimes little kids will come up and just start handing me things at my job...shoes, books, phones, toys, etc. They just want me to hold things. Why? I don't know. But anyway, it's annoying.
I was telling this story to Kat, and while I was telling it, Sean walked over to me and handed me two shoes. "Just hold those, I'll be right back..." Just to be a jerk, you know? Well, as he was turning around, he fell. Sean, for those of you who have never met this blessed guy, is not the most graceful man I've ever met. He's fallen down the stairs at least three times that I know of. Well, this time, he was falling already as I pegged him with one of the shoes he had handed me. So he fell, and crashed into the stairs with his face.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. He was rolling around and holding his eye (he really did hit the stairs with his face) and I was just balling.
I'm a bad person. But they love me here.
Also, I generally like kids, but I just had an absolutely terrible day at work. I was in the daycare area all day and didn't really get a break and I had a ton of kids...and there was this one kid that I honestly think just really needs a good slap. Maybe a couple. He doesn't listen, he's rough, and rude, and when I say no, he tries to actually force me to give him what he wants, physically. Push me out of the way, grab things out of my hand, CLIMB ME LIKE A FUCKING JUNGLE GYM to get at what he wants. Seriously, if I didn't think I'd get fired, I would have just smacked him in the back of the head. My god, that's not okay. You cannot act that way when you're five. Someone will eventually knock you on your ass. It might be me. He was clinging to me while I was trying to walk, actually hanging off of me, and I finally said, "You need to let go of me, or I'm going to let you fall down. Get off, or you'll fall." He said, "If you do, I'll tell my mom on you." And I said, "I bet if I dropped you, your mom would totally understand."
He's five. He didn't get it.
If you think I'm terrible, you haven't worked with young children enough. Or, you aren't a human.
