ladydusk Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Get a drink of water. Eat a sandwich. (this was the one necessary today) Take a shower. Take a nap. After the sandwich my child believed that I knew how to subtract two digit numbers. [sigh] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sigh] I worked with a marvelous long-time kindergarten teacher whose universal answer to frustration, tears, anger, and sleepiness was to send the little one to the drinking fountain to get some water. Worked like a charm about 90% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yes, sandwich-shower-nap was Susan's mother's "recipe." She's not called Jessie Wise for nothin'. We've used this here, too, but usually for my husband. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahamamama Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 How about you go eat the sandwich, and I'll take the nap ;) Works for me! I'm always hungry, and naps ruin a good night's sleep. ;) OTOH, my husband says he's never met a nap he could refuse. His record "nap" was 17 hours. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
