Our recent topic of conversation in Science has been cycles. Water Cycle. Nitrogen Cycle. Carbon Cycle. So on. So forth. Yesterday we were talking about the Nitrogen cycle. This involves Nitrogen from the air going into plants...which go into animals...who create waste and put nitrogen back into the soil. So. We've been drawing the Nitrogen cycle and obviously this involves drawing poop. Which, naturally leads to A LOT of laughter. Mostly from the kids...okay maybe from me too sometimes.
So I guess the kids are getting comfortable talking about their bodily functions with me because of this because today a girl says, "UGH! CAN I GO PEE!?"
To which I responded, absolutely not and do not call it that...we are ladies...we call it the restroom...
Unfortunately, this was nothing compared to the girl who came up to me and said, "Can I go to the bathroom? I need to go #2" SERIOUSLY!?!? #2!?!? But my ears were not deceiving me. Naturally, I was so taken aback by the fact that this child said to me, and having some sympathy for her situation..because who really wants to hold it...that I let her go.
So I waited in shock for her to come back. When she did come back (literally 25 minutes later) she said this..."Sorry I was gone so long...I started puking up blood and went to the nurse."
AGHHHHHHHH. I was so intensely disturbed I had a hard time carrying on my class. GROSS.

Some Things to Consider:
1. I had an excellent weekend with some excellent people. I miss them dearly.
2. Owen has become unhinged. I wish I was joking. He' s now a farting machine and every single second he gets...he is chewing on my feet. We would be struggling if I didn't think he was so stinking cute. I'm pretty sure the reason kittens are so cute is so you don't kill them because of their obnoxious antics.
