Me: Rebecca stop hanging off that ledge.
Rebecca: (ignoring me like I am not directly behind her)
Me: Rebecca please stop hanging off that ledge.
Rebecca: (still ignoring me, but I get a little bit of a stink eye from her)
Me: Rebecca you NEED to stop hanging off that ledge. (The program that these children follow is very strict you give them 3 commands in hopes that they follow the first general command...once you say NEED you have to physically prompt them away form whatever they are doing...that is why I have all those random commands)
Rebecca: (she comes towards me STOMPING with her hands in little balls of furry wrapped tightly around her body)
Me: Rebecca you need to go play somewhere else...
Rebecca: (interrupting me) MEGHAN!! YOU ARE WORSE THAN SATAN!!
Me: (laughing my head off)
Rebecca: I am very upset with you!! I have hung off the ledge before...I am telling my mommy...
Needless to say...we made up and she still loves me. I love that she is only 4 years old and I am still laughing that she came up with that!! Kids are so creative!! I am bummed that I made her so mad, but I honestly think it was one of the funniest things I have ever heard!! The children that I work with make me a better person everyday!! I love them and look up to them...they may only be 3, 4, and 5 years old but they have the most amazing outlook on life and teach me to live everyday to the fullest. Their families are so incredibly special and everyday I admire their strength, optimism, and pride!!
