What’s that right there? (pointing to the mole on my forehead) They are curious and aren’t ashamed to ask questions. What’s that on your earrings? (Beads, do you like them?) No They are honest. I made a kid really upset once because I asked her to leave an area because of her behavior. She cried.Continue reading “Why I Like Kids”

Your Fault
I was talking to my cousin the other day and she said “I know that offenses are not given, they’re taken…” That reminded me of something I thought about recently. I could be called stupid, mean, selfish and many other things that would never bother me. Because I know I’m smart, nice and very selfless.Continue reading “Your Fault”
That’s So Raven!
I used to LOVE That’s So Raven! when I was in high school. I know I know I was too old to be watching a Disney Channel show but I still loved it. If you’ve never seen it, I’ll let you know that Raven is a psychic and she’s a teenager she would get theseContinue reading “That’s So Raven!”
1, 2, 3, JUMP!
Mom says, “1, 2, 3 Jump!” This is a daily ritual for two parents and their two sons at my job. It’s part of how they say goodbye every morning. The tricky part is that after the jump the boys are supposed to wrap their legs around their mom as she lifts them after sayingContinue reading “1, 2, 3, JUMP!”
Deprisha, why yo hair like mine?
Deprisha, why yo hair like mine? I thought that was the funniest thing that one of the little cuties at my job asked me the other day. She has locs. I was wearing a braid out that day.

I work with 2-4 year olds so I see a lot falling and lots of tears. MOST of the it’s very minor. So I just go over to them to calm them down with a hug to acknowledge their hurt and that they’re maybe a little shaken. Then I just say “You don’t have toContinue reading “Go Play”
Your Parents Weren’t Lying
You really can be whatever you want to be, but you have to decide and be convinced of how bad you really want it. If you don’t want to do something nothing and no one can motivate you to do it. If you want to do something, nothing and no one can stop you. “WhenContinue reading “Your Parents Weren’t Lying”
New Norm
There are a couple kids at my job who always sit on the floor in a position that we learned is bad for muscle development. Regardless of how many times we tell them to sit differently their first inclination is to sit that way even though we’ve told them it’s going to hurt. I tryContinue reading “New Norm”
Hello, it’s me Your Problem. Yep, STILL here.
Kid: Claricha, my hands cold. I don’t got my gloves today. Me: They are? So, what can you do about that? Kid: I can put them in my pockets. (Puts them in her pockets) They warm now. I work at a preschool/daycare so I get used to saying the same things daily, but sometimes it’sContinue reading “Hello, it’s me Your Problem. Yep, STILL here.”
Hello, it’s me Your Problem. I’m still here.
I recently heard somebody say that it’s important to deal with the issues in your life bc when you don’t they will become recurring themes. The people or details involved might change, but the problem will persist until you choose to confront the issue at its root. I started school a year early so IContinue reading “Hello, it’s me Your Problem. I’m still here.”
