So, here's what happened:
Around 1:45, one of my littles asked to go to the bathroom. I was in the middle of explaining how to complete a new activity. Actually, I was modeling how to complete the Mystery Messages that I bought at Christmas on TPT. (They rock BTW!) I didn't want Mr. Little to miss out so I asked if he could wait until I finished. He shook his head yes and I proceeded with my modeling. Seriously, no more than 3 minutes later I make eye contact with Mr. Little and notice a puddle! He immediately points to the puddle and says, " Who poured that here?" His face so serious and intentional. Of course I knew what had happened, but because he said what he said....I almost burst into laughter. Inside I was dying! I was wanting to hoot...to holler and explode. But, I was a professional and quickly diverted attention away from him and sent him promptly to the office to get new duds.
I felt horrible. I should have just let him go when he asked, but I trusted that he could hold it. I felt bad for wanting to laugh.
So, Mr. Little comes back into class carrying his bag of wet clothes and I kid you not, he was wearing the tightest little skinny jeans ever! Mr. Little is itty. His new dry pants were ittier....and they were a tad on the short side. I wanted to laugh all over again!
For the rest of the afternoon, I couldn't make eye contact with him. The sight of those crazy tight/short jeans and the fact that I kept seeing him point and ask "Who poured that here?" was almost too hard to handle.
So, I began the day feeling like super teacher and ended feeling very different.
Loved the story! Too cute--at least he didn't burst into tears like most probably would have done. I've had that happen to a student a time or 2, so don't feel bad!

For the Love of First Grade
I was happy there were no tears too!
DeleteI have been there too! I had a Firstie stand up once and ask to go to the restroom. I said sure and before I could say find a buddy to walk down with you, she stood up and went. Last year I had a kiddo who would grab his bottom and start saying "I go number 2, I go number 2!!!". It didn't matter where we were when he let out his potty cry!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have had a hard time not laughing also!
