I'm Running, Jack! I'm Running!

The kids in my preschool can be absolute terrors but they can be pretty darn cute too. Last week, I was out on the playground with one of the other teachers and we were watching the kids run around. There is one little girl, Lauren, who is best friends with a little boy named Jack. They have a complete love-hate relationship and fight like an old married couple half the time. Jack was getting mad because he wanted to play with Lauren but she kept running away from him. So he was chasing her and there was another little girl, Lisa, who wanted to play with Jack and so she was chasing him. But he only had eyes for Lauren. Which made me feel pretty badly for him because she wanted nothing to do with him right then. At one point, she stops running, turns around to face him, and with this little ghetto head nod and her fingers wagging at him, she says "Jack Albright, you are *not* my boyfriend!" And then took off running again. The other teacher and I just about died laughing. I wanted to tell Jack, "Honey, I'd give up and go with Lisa. If that Lauren is anything like me, you'll be running after her the rest of your life."

Because, as all great philosophers know, boys have cooties. ;-)

HA HA HA!!!!

It's funny when you see little kids personalities come out.. the other day (Sunday Night)when I went to Awana with Jen & Eli there was this kid that kept picking on Eli, grant it Eli did his share of picking on that kid too... both of them would push the other when they were near each other. This was the first time they ever met, yet they could not get along the whole night... it was funny to see their little personalities clash.
