I've been working with kids for only a few months. Maybe more than a few but I've always had kids around me. But let me say this now, kids are gross. Gross little monsters that pick their nose and then expect me to hold their hand down the hallway. The kids who see me, then choose to pee on the tree. They obviously know it's wrong! But kids live by a different creed than us. They don't care if they piss on a tree. Why should they? It's not like someone is gonna punish them too hard. When you're 5 the world just looks like one big playground you can throw up on. I'm gonna talk about a few kids but I won't use their names for purposes called saving my ass from parents.

I have this kid in kindergarten named Jazzpuss. Now Jazzpuss definitely has some anger issues but when he is happy, he's a joy to be around. The reason I bring up Jazzpuss is because of an incident that occurred a couple of weeks ago. After snack, we usually take the kids outside, that day it happened to rain, so we went into the gym. While in the gym, the kids are free to run around and play games. Now as I sit in my corner watching these kids, I see Jazzpuss talking to Cleesht (who is a little girl). Now, I don't know what went through Jazzpuss's mind but this little piece of shit deicides to pull down his pants, exposing himself to miss Cleesht. I went and ran over to him and asked him to pull up the business he dropped. He does but reluctantly. While he does that I tell him to go sit on the wall so we can have a chat.

Cleesht isn't the best either. She's sweet and doesn't know any better yet but she had to go to the bathroom one day. So I let her go. About 5 minutes pass and Cleesht isn't back so I go to check on her. This is how the conversation went.

Me: *Creeks open bathroom door* "Hey, everything going okay?"

Cleesht: "Yes. I need you to wipe my bottom."

Me: "Um, no."

Cleesht: *Peeks her head out the stall* " You can wipe my butt one time."

Me: "No. Not at all. Just, do it yourself and go outside."

Working with kids has taught me a lot. They are our future and it's a little scary sometimes, but the other times, I can't wait to see little Jazzpuss be in a movie, or in jail for public nudity, and say "Hey, I knew him when he was a little kid." But for now, I'll keep making jokes with them, laughing with them, telling them no, giving them treats, and letting punch, kick, and throw me around just because I get to hear them laugh every day. And I think that's something special, something you don't get in an office all the time.
