Kids, they be a-tiring-me-out

Entertaining a plethora of children=Early onset of Insanity

Yesterday I chaperoned my daughter's class to the Zoo. This was a fun but very tiring trip- it was just me and 4 kids, all on our own for 3 hours. 3 long hours! Try to rationalize with them why you cannot buy ice cream, when you just told them 5 minutes ago that there would be no buying of anything, even if there was money to be had! Then in 5 more minutes they want a rubber snake! And a dog license ID tag, even though they don't have a dog!

Somewhere in there we got a few minutes in of actually looking at animals. Snakes? "Gross". Monkeys? "Gross". Polar Bears? "Mommy, the polar bear is eating SANTA CLAUS!" said on the brink of tears.

*sigh*

Bless all you teachers out there, every one of you.
