What a Preschool Teacher Said To Me

"Anna was a bit upset today. I thought she had to go to the bathroom, so I asked her about it. Anna told me I have to make a poo. I ate a lot of food and now it's stuck in my butt."

It is moments such as these that make you want to be an educator, is it not?

Other bathroom related anecdotes:

Anna needed help getting 'unstuck' from the toilet seat. When I got to the bathroom she told me:

"Someone's pulling my butt into the potty! [pause...]
It's my fish."

Uh, that would be the fish that we had flushed into fish heaven a few weeks ago.

Anna has learned the concept of the women's bathroom and the men's bathroom. One day at the pizza place the door to the women's bathroom was locked. I explained this was because there was only one toilet in there, and someone was using it.
She thought about this for a moment.
It was at that point she started to hollar "Get out! Get out! Get out!" very loudly.

Almost forgot: as of 5 nights ago, Anna wears underwear at night. She decided to. So far, so good.
