Me: do you want to tell me what you did at school today?
4 yo: no

5 minutes later

Me: who did you play with today?
4 yo: i played with ‘no’

The sass…

Day one: "The other boy with blue eyes is my bro now and we're gonna play at my house soon."

Day two: (exasperated sigh) "Ugh - I did everything, ok? Why do you keep asking me?"

(We're new at DCPS PK4 - he's youngest in his class. Not sure if he's struggling or if the older kids' attitudes are rubbing off on him. He already plenty of attitude going in.)

My almost-3 yr old on the way to preschool (his fourth week).

“I’m probably going to cry in the classroom today.” I asked him why and he said, “It’s what I usually do”. He wasn’t the least bit upset about it. Just a statement of fact.

Mine said she had fun and her teacher was nice. I guess we need to work on more complex vocab at home. She also told us she got half a banana with cheese for snack. Pretty sure she meant a banana 1/2 And cheese not with cheese. Yuck.

These are SO funny. Please keep them coming!

Got her on my lap at home and she wheezes out the problem is her teacher buttoned TWO buttons on her cardigan when it was time to go outside but “Mama, you only button ONE. It’s only ONE button! WHY DIDN’T SHE KNOOOOW!”

Aw! My 4 year old came home and started talking about listening ears this year too.

This morning, I did drop off and asked “Are you ready for your big hug?” He grudgingly gave me a brief hug then said, “Ok, can I go now?” and ran off.
I only asked because every single drop off he insists on a “gigantic hug, the biggest ever.” Guess those days are coming to an end.

They are so funny - we are going to miss this period, aren't we? My kid can be so stubborn sometimes but he also says these cute things so I keep reminding myself that he will want nothing to with me soon

This is still the main way I get my older daughter to tell me about school (she's 7). I ask her who got in trouble. She ALWAYS wants to spill the tea about that, but won't tell me anything else.

OMG hilarious

My kid tells on himself. Thats all I get. Play by play of any not taking turns or not sharing incidents. He also says he gets put in timeout but I talked to his teacher and she was like umm no hes been in the thinking chair like 2 times this past session (6 months). He does get upset when anyone else has to go to the thinking chair/timeout so Ive got a little catholic guilt empath on my hands.

On the first day my kid told me she was sad she didn't get to play with "[unintelligible]". For a while I thought she was saying she had a classmate named either Raider or Wader that she wanted to be friends with, and those were new ones for me so I was intrigued.

Finally I figured out she didn't get to play with the PLAY-DOUGH. She doesn't care about the other kids yet!

I'm actually sad I don't get to hear more about this kid Raider because they sounded interesting.
