Guest Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 your knees get really sore from playing on the floor all day. when out shopping, always lookin out for things to buy for nursery. when you joined in with the children picking the glue of my fingers with great satisfaction when you say 'get down', 'thats not kind', 'its time to tidy up' all day long when walking home from work singing songs to yourselve like wheels on the us'. i like this topic, it made me laugh and its all so true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Brilliant! you get annoyed when other adults refer to children as 'kids'... DEFINITELY with you on this one! I find it intensely annoying and have been known to phone radio stations to ask them not to do it! Jimmy Young once read my comment out on the air!

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Got to add this one - being in Tesco and suddenly hearing a parent in the next aisle say "Stop it 'Tommy', Mrs xxxxx is in here and she'll hear you!" then "Do you want me to call her over!!??" it just happened!

AnonyMouse_25331 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 you get annoyed when other adults refer to children as 'kids'... even more annoying when a 4 year old tells you she has invited 14 kids to her birthday party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) even more annoying when a 4 year old tells you she has invited 14 kids to her birthday party! I don't know if this is a regional thing but I'm always saying kids and teachers I know, who are excellent and nearly double my age, refer to them as kids as well. Nearly everyone I know in education does it, or at least enough for it not to stand out when anyone does it no matter what their age or gender. Maybe I shouldn't be admitting to this though, given the prevailling opinion in the thread... EDIT: Would sound strange if child did it though, and considering they follow the adults around them I'm amazed that actually I've never heard this. I wouldn't refer to children as kids though when talking to them so perhaps that's why. Edited August 15, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 you look at the shoes in the shoe shop and know who at Nursery has a pair like that, or who is most likely to own that pair. at home you offer your own children a wet paper towel when they hurt themselves when you are out shopping and a child falls over you stop what you are doing and go to help them ( thhis happened to me yesterday fortunately mum was not far behind and i remembered in time that i was not working, had i hav been in my village it would not hav been as bad cos theres a 99% chance they would hav been mine when asked the day of the week by anyone you burst in to song your son lends you his cd player so he does not have to listen to your nativity cd your husband worries if you are broody when you get the nursery dolls bac from an elderly neighbour and they are beautifully kitted out in knitted outfits and you hav to show them to everyone and keep lookin at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_9650 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 When you go shopping with your 18 year old daughter and end up with 5 little duck finger puppets and 5 green frog finger puppets which you then make her model over lunch in the restaurant so that you can send a photo to your deputy who is as sad as you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 when you put on a hooded top and your husband says, why is there red pen all the way up the back? and you remember who did it and how you forgot to add stain remover to the wash!
