I can't really remember exactly how we got onto this topic, but yesterday a petite kindergarten girl and I were discussing throwing up. Someone in her class had been sick, so I guess that's how our conversation meandered in this direction. We were both telling our most icky stories and giggling up a storm when she said something adorable. "I threw up 20 times one day." Screwing up her face, she drew a line in the air from her mouth to her chest and said, "You know....one of those bugs crawled down my throat and made me really sick." Yes, I did keep a straight face and explain the difference between a bug bug and a contagious illness, but this child's little literal self certainly did add a big scoop of joy to my Friday!
This is mostly a blog of everyday stories from my work as a primary school counselor. Some are funny, some are touching, but they all stand out as memorable moments. Sometimes I'll include photos, ideas that are working for me, and meaningful quotes. Enjoy!
