Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 This reminds me of the time we found a tiny shrew in the baby room in the summer - questions included: 'Aren't they poisonous?' 'I thought a shrew was a bird' 'What are you going to do about it - call the RSPCA?' lol Quote
Rea Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I once had 3 A level students at playgroup. One day one of them came running into the room from the kitchen 'the taps broken, it wont switch off'. I followed her to where the 2 other students were staring at the MIXER tap. I turned both taps and, what do you know? The water turned off. I dispair at times Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Had a member of staff using the laminator today and didn't realise you needed pouches "oh sorry i thought they were in the machine!" Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 LOL! Glad its not just me; think I'll collect the daft things they say and do and write a book!! Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 My favourite was when I found my student looking at the playdough in the bowl. She asked "How she gets it out on to the table?" I had to just smile and then breathe deeply as I explained you used your hands........................ she was shocked.. But on the upside she didn't stay in childcare... Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Once I had a child who had a really high tempreture and really needed calpol as parents were some way away. As you need prior written permission to administer I rang her Mum to fax me permission so I could administer it in the mean time. A member of staff said I didn't think you could give it without permission, I said that I had asked Mum to fax it, a student in the room said wow thats amazing I didn't know you could fax calpol!!!!!!! p.s this was some time ago before the medicine procedures were so strict and we used to keep nursery calpol, how things change Quote
SueFinanceManager Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 said wow thats amazing I didn't know you could fax calpol!!!!!!! I love that.....made me laugh out loud to myself, thanks for sharing Quote
Guest Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Today we had 3 morning children who forgot the Christmas cards they had made for their families (photo's of them taken at our Christmas craft morning with a frame they decorated themselves). I was hoping to take them to siblings in school. 2 were no problem the 3rd I held up to a TA and asked "What's Keira's surname? " she studied then "is it Knightley?" was her answer Well she knew Keira Knightley sounded familiar but she's a tad old for nursery! Quote
