Another great Preschool story

WARNING: If you don't like graphic details don't read this post. :)

One of our little preschoolers got sick today at recess. She was really good about staying in one place on the playground, but then she was pretty upset. Her sister helped her into the room though and that was so cute! Of course some of the students didn't see what had happened and being the inquisitive 3 to 5 year olds that they are we had to have a discussion. I was dialoguing with this one student in particular.
He asked, "Why did she go inside?"
I replied, "Well, she got sick, so she's going in to rest." (This went back and forth a few more times.)
The little boy finally asked, "So, she threw up?"
I said, "Yeah, she did."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Was it white?" (You have to love preschoolers.)
"Yes, yes it was."
He goes on to inform me with this: "Oh, mine is never white. I have baked tomato throw up."
Ah yes, thank you for the visual. It makes me laugh though how honest they are. It's such a picture of how we should be child-like in our walk with Papa in heaven.

If you enjoyed this story, be sure to check out yesterdays post about other bodily functions. Never a dull moment in preschool. :D

girrrllll....we could swap some great stories! I work with typical and special needs Preschoolers. :) One of the best quotes this year was when one girl looked at another teacher (who has perfectly straight teeth) and said "I like your teeth...Do they come out?" LOL!
