A fond memory from last Spring rumbled through my mind
today:
My friend told one of her 4-year-old student’s to greet me, knowing
the child’s gift to amuse.
With no concept of an indoor voice and no salutation, my coworker’s
Pre-K charge shared the first thought on her mind.
“My dad made a deal with me. If I don’t stop scratchin, he’s
going to put tape all over my bleedin body!” she shouted to me and a hallway
full of children.
The cherub had allergy-related sores on her arms which often
bled when she scratched them.
“If I keep scratchin,” she screeched, “I won’t be allowed to
go to school because blood will come off of me all over the floor!”
My goodness! That would be quite a predicament.
Thankfully, the little girl’s sores are cured this year and
she thrives as a full-blooded Kindergartener.
