Derek was so funny. I told him the transformers blew up and he said "ha. That's not possible. Transformers aren't real mom!"

Smart!

Did the toddler's mom hear that and if yes, how did she react to it?

Clodfobble 03-01-2014 07:13 PM
Oh she definitely heard it, everyone in a 20-foot radius heard it... but I don't know how she reacted because I immediately scurried away with him, explaining that we don't point and talk about people we don't know, no matter whether we're saying something nice/factual or not.

"This Thursday, one toddler will out another toddler as a vector for hookworms..."

LoL......my nephew would loudly say a woman is fat sometimes. :lol: Had to teach what NOT to say about a woman. Perhaps I should stop calling myself fat in front of him so often that he thinks it's okay to say that out loud.

Clodfobble 03-04-2014 10:56 PM
For awhile we had to make the rule for Minifob, "When someone is fat, we say, 'I like your hair.'" It really helped for him to have a replacement phrase, because he felt absolutely compelled to comment.

Good idea. One of my guys asked, "What's wrong with your face?" of an adult visitor last week.

glatt 03-05-2014 07:17 AM
How do you respond to that? (As a teacher and as the person with the face.)

Clodfobble 03-05-2014 07:50 PM
The kids are on a roll this week...

Minifobette is heading into her weekly social skills playgroup, and she is hopping across the floor instead of walking.

Therapist: Oh, are you hopping like a bunny?
Minifobette: No, I'm doing parkour.

We both ignored it. If I knew her, I might have turned it into a teachable moment, but this child has real deficits in receptive language and tends to explode when he doesn't understand something. So I tend to choose my moments carefully.

That's hilarious. How old is she again?

Clodfobble 03-06-2014 03:40 PM
She's 5, about to turn 6 in April. Her exposure to parkour comes from spending time on YouTube with my stepkids (ages 15 and 12...)

I figured it wasn't from watching The Office. That's funny.
