Whether or not you work with kids, you've had that moment of "did I just say that?" when talking to children. I get the privilege of working with kids every day and getting plenty of opportunities to say things that just wouldn't be acceptable to say to adults.

*The following are actual things I've said to my campers this summer*

1. No barking.

2. Come back and clean that up.

3. We don't bite people.

4. I've got the tickle monster on speed dial.

5. Stop picking your nose.

6. Don't eat that.

7. Why are you sticky?

8. Let's go slow poke.

9. *child*: "Look it's a finger bracelet!"

*me*: "You mean a ring?"

10. Why are you carrying a cup of dirt?

11. Did you just lick your fingers and then wipe them on me?

12. Where is your shirt?

13. You want to be a hobo when you're older?... At least you're following your dreams.

14. *looking up their nose* No there's no bats in the cave. What about me?

15. Throw this away for me please.. I'll time you.
