Speaking of being unable to shelter your kids, I was squirming when we saw Superman because of its scene at the beginning where Lara gives birth to Superman. I was really afraid my kids would start asking questions about how a baby gets out. They didn't though - maybe they are still too little to connect the dots of the scene - and I was so relieved. So not a conversation I'm looking forward to having.Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-88111729728072458782013-11-14T21:42:24.490-07:002013-11-14T21:42:24.490-07:00Isn't it cute!

Some of them don't believe it's the same person. :)Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-68516739692139833382013-11-14T21:40:35.892-07:002013-11-14T21:40:35.892-07:00I love your story!

When things like that happen I have an almost out of body experience where part of me is trying to keep the group rolling, but the other part of me is cracking up and thinking "I've got to remember to tell my husband about this tonight."Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-48736253922762613932013-11-14T14:21:38.862-07:002013-11-14T14:21:38.862-07:00Oh no!!!

My most recent "blooper" occurred when I was presenting an emotion lesson to a group of preschoolers. I had big pictures of kids with different faces: happy, sad, excited, mad, etc. I would hold up a picture and ask the kids, "How do you think he feels?". In one of the groups, I held up the mad face, asked my question, and one of the kids yelled, "Pissed!" The teacher and I both laughed, which I know is not the best response, but how can you not? We recovered pretty quick and the teacher said, "Or upset. How about upset." :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945316987978329603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-28746588444348498372013-11-13T06:25:25.823-07:002013-11-13T06:25:25.823-07:00What a cuuute video and what a funny, but sobering...What a cuuute video and what a funny, but sobering experience in the classroom! I'm glad you were able to save face by using it as a teachable moment. Interesting that the kids remembered all too well that their dads said that naughty word A Lot.

How horrible, but it's funny. Cause it wasn't me.<br /><br />But at least you could turn it into a learning situation. I'm pretty sure I've done something similar with my own kids, but can't give you an example off hand. It happens to the best of us. And I'm pretty sure the 2nd graders will be just fine. From the experiences with my son, it seems like going from 2nd to third was that big stepping stone.<br /><br />In 1st grade, someone wrote a 'bad' word on the school's bathroom wall. That word: Stupid. By third grade, he'd heard the 'real' bad words. Unfortunately if you're going to let your kids ever watch TV or go out in public, it's going to happen. Can't shelter them forever. <br />Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-80163949411168354302013-11-12T10:07:28.616-07:002013-11-12T10:07:28.616-07:00The sad thing is, I embarrass myself quite regular...The sad thing is, I embarrass myself quite regularly. Not often do I take a whole second grade class down a twisted road, but I've learned to just roll with it. I sent a note home to the parents explaining and apologizing, and as far as I know, nobody called my prinicipal, so I'm okay, and do find the humor in the situation. :)Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-65666606320073295922013-11-12T08:08:49.712-07:002013-11-12T08:08:49.712-07:00I feel bad for you - there was no way you could ha...I feel bad for you - there was no way you could have known.
