"Honey, the glue stick does not belong up your nose."

Today I added this to the list of things I never thought I would say at work. It is in good company with: "I'm sure she didn't mean to lick you." "Please keep your teeth to yourself." "What did you just pick up from the floor? Is it in your MOUTH?" "Please remove your hand from your pants." "Paper is not food or drink. It does not go in your mouth." "Say excuse me." "No, you don't need to taste all the crayons." Kids may say the darndest things but as a teacher I find myself saying some too!

My sister has too. I don't have any children of my own yet, but I'm wondering if I'll be surprised by anything they say after all of this

I thought I had heard most kids' funny antics, but yours are hilarious!

I like my little people they're funny without even trying to be!

Some of these are funny - but very necessary things to say I should think.

Unfortunately, they are very necessary! It's just weird to reflect on them because they are such odd things to have to say at all
