that being said I have not been a stranger when it comes to children, I was a nanny and now I am an aunty so all is good..
I have heard some very funny things in the last few years so I thought I would share them with you :)
overheard while talking to my sister on the phone as she was talking to her potty training two year old...
"...noooo don't wipe your bum with your sock...."
"No no no that's not poop, thats just a leaf stuck to the bottom of your sock..."
" do you have to pee? no? then stop grabbing your parts!!"...
that is just from my little people in my life :)
the other people I care for in this world have generated many more smiles and and attempts to stifle a snicker or two...
I am a nurse, and sometimes my favourite part of nursing is the moments that usually happen in the still of the night...
nurse: explaining that she was going to be there all night for the patient
patient: I'm not paying for BS
nurse: thats good cause I'm not charging...
patient: ok then.
me: "Where are you going "*Mr Smith"?
him: "I'm get'n the helloutta here"
me: "well you haven't been out of bed for 2 weeks, I don't think that is not your best idea- how about you stay for another day or two"
him: "can I have ice cream?"
me: "I'll see what I can do"
him: "ok, I'll stay"
--proof ice cream solves all your troubles!
*names have been changed to protect the good peoples I look after
I am not a fan of eavesdropping but I am usually around for many lovely and exquisite random moments and statements that seem to be born from moments that hang in the air waiting to swoop down into someones head when there is a quiet moment and when you least expect it it comes shooting out of your mouth with no warning whatsoever...
so here are just a few random tidbits that made me smile
in the middle of a quiet nursing station on night shift people charting all around
"it's been years since I had a fondu"....
In passing..... "you know Jillian Michaels has made me very aware of my butt"...
I love my life, love my family and friends, and yes even love my job.... most days :)
