Girl child just out of potty training. I'm cleaning poo from all up her back.

Me: how did poo get up your back?

Girl child: I've been cheeky

Sorry its been a while, childcare is exhausting...

Me helping children in the toilets.

Girl child washing her hands out of the blue turns around and says: your boots are boring.

Me hurt, eyes up her sparkly boots. I say nothing.

Me: Where's your willy?

Other member of staff: now that's one for your twitter

(Disclaimer: he was stood up next to a potty but with his boyhood tucked like a drag queen for some reason I do not know.)

Me: Pudsey is coming!

Children are excited. Spots ready. Flags in hand. Beaming smiles.

Pudsey walks in.

Boy child walks up to me shaking his head: I don't like it Sydney

Me telling a girl child she cannot draw on furniture

Boy child being my shadow: what's the problem Sydney?

[Sydney Henley-Roussel @SydneyHenleyR]

#overheardatnursery

Girl child: A snake!

Confused, I look to where she's pointing and see a worm.

Girl child sitting on the toilet: Sydney!!!

Me looking over the cubicle door and answering : yes?

Girl child proceeds to jump so hard that she fell into the toilet bowl. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I was laugh crying.

Me to a child crouched over looking up at another child:
"Please stop looking at his bum, he's done a poo poo"

[Sydney Henley-Roussel @SydneyHenleyR]

#overheardatnursery

Me: why are you crying?

Girl child: because I don't have a bug. Mummy checked my ears, nose and throat and I don't have a bug. So I have to come to nursery today.
