As we were walking back from chapel I noticed two kids (who are not even mine) were acting really suspicious. As I went to help their teacher (who at the moment was locked out of her room, yes it does happen to other people besides myself) I noticed he put something in his mouth. When I bent over to see what was happening I saw that in his mouth was a leaf growing off the bush outside the classroom. As I asked him calmly "Did you just eat a leaf?" He proceeded to slowly stick his tongue out with the leaf on it where it then got stuck to his chin. The other boy erupted with laughter and they both admitted to sticking it in their mouth. Really. I thought to myself "Are you kidding me?" but there were bigger fish to fry so I told him to stop and then walked towards his teacher saying" Your friends are eating leaves". She looked at me with the same expression I am sure I had and then we banged on the door to try to get it open.
When I went into my own classroom some of my kids told me "Miss it is ok to eat leaves, it is just like salad". Trying not to roll my eyes I simply said you know what if you want to eat leaves you do it at home. Time for reading.
Telling children to not impale themselves with scissors, not touching people around them, and about not eating leaves. That is what my day job consists of. God bless you desk job people because I don't know what makes you laugh at your job.
Have a wonderful injury-free, leaf-eating day!

Oh! Here are some pics from my latest adventure to the hot springs that are hidden away in the beautiful (but scary as hell roads) mountains!
