I work with children and it's not a job for everyone. I used to be a waitress and I thought those customers were needy, but nothing prepares you to work with children. Nothing can prepare you for what children say or get excited or mad about, either. Kids really do say the darndest things.

1. "Don't talk to me!"

Which usually occurs after you get on to them.

2. "I pee-peed/ poo-pood in the POTTY!"

I never understood how excited kids got when potty-training. It makes you happy to see how something we do every day makes them so ecstatic when they do it.

3. "They took my toy!"

Kids don't like to share.

4. "I had it first."

They really don't like to share.

5. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"


Inside voices don't exist and they like to scream.

6. "You're not my best friend"/, "They said I'm not their best friend anymore"

Girls are the worst when it comes to BFFs.

7. "TRUCK!"

They saw or heard a truck/vehicle of any kind.

8."Come and get me!"

Usually, happens when they want you to chase them.

9. "I don't want to listen."

When you get on to them for not listening.

10. "He's sitting in my way"

Usually, happens when the TV is on.

11. "What are we having for lunch/ snack?"

They ask every teacher 4 times a day.

12. "Mine."


someone wants something they have.


13. "They aren't being good."

Anytime someone comes and tattles on another kid.

14. "I'm Elsa!" "I'm ANNA!"

God, I hate Frozen.

15. "NO!"

I think they come out of the womb with this word being their favorite.

16. "I love you Ms/Mrs./Mr."


They know how to make you feel loved and keep it honest.

I'll love working with my kids, some times they drive me bananas but I couldn't imagine working with any other set of kiddos.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
