- - Friday, April 23, 2004 WonderBlog Retard Moment # 3,847,609 It's spring. I'm a preschooler teacher, and we're learning about gardens, vegetables, and planting. I have quite a few spanish-speaking students in my class, to which I remind them daily to Sientete which means "Sit down!" or Camina despacio which means "Walk Slowly!" In circle time today, we were discussing different types of vegetables, and we reached Zucchini. But of course, little Selene didn't have any intention of sitting down, so the moment went as follows: Me: "Alright friends, this is a zucchini. Can you say zucchini?" Children: "zucchini!" *Selene proceeds to wiggle about the room like she has lady bugs in her pants* "Sientete, Zucchini!" I shouted with authority. WTF? I can't even distinguish between veggies and my students anymore. Luckily my children are at the age where their attention span is that of a nat w/ attention deficit disorder and they didn't notice the grammatical error. I got in my car after work, and started cracking up. I called this kid a zucchini. Thank God my boss was in meetings today.
