some moments to make you laugh

while the kids eat lunch at work i'm inside laying out mats for rest time (something i'm quite happy to do cuz i hate watching 4 year olds eat/spit food out of their mouths trying to talk while eating/dribble yogurt down their fronts with their lack of co-ordination). one of my co-workers came in and said that one of the little girls out there just informed the boy sitting next to her that the brand of yogurt he was eating had ground up cow hooves in it. i just started laughing. i knew she'd been fed that from her parents. the boy's yogurt had gelatin in it (made from skin, cartilage or bones of animals). i knew she must be one of the 3 or 4 vegetarian kids we have this year. she probably didn't need to be that blunt about it (and its probably not hooves) but she is quite blunt/rude a lot of the time. i think that might be something we need to help her work on this year.
a girl came up to me with a "treasure map" she'd made. she started telling me that the map would take her to the pub (her dad is irish-- i think they spend a lot of time hanging out at the pub). then she started telling me that she wouldn't be able to go to the pub on her own. i was thinking she would say cuz you need to be older to go to the pub on your own but no- her reason was that there was a road in front of the pub and she couldn't cross the road without holding her mum's hand.
some kids were playing a matching/bingo type game where there are a bunch of cards face down on the table and they have to flip one over and see if the picture on the card matches one of the pictures on their bingo board. whenever it was one of the boy's turns he would lay his head down close to the table (like he was trying to see under the cards that were laying flat on the table). finally my co-worker asked him what he was doing. he had figured out that the cards had different coloured frames around the picture on them and by looking closely you could see the reflection of the frame colour on the white table and then he would narrow down his choice to 4 different cards that had the same frame colour (smart kid-- although a bit of a cheat!).
