At the elementary school where I student teach at, there is a before/after school program for kids. It's basically like a day care. One of the supervisors is this frumpy older woman who is a little bit slow. Her partner supervisor is a small, plump lady with some sort of mental disability. Both of the woman are nice, caring ladies but I don't feel like they should be responsible for a group of small children. They never have any idea what's going on and the kids just run free around the building. Well, yesterday afternooon I was in a rush to leave the school (I had a Smart Board class to get to) and as I ran past the boys bathroom I heard the sound of massive amounts of rushing water. I stopped and started heading for the bathroom when the frumpy supervisor came rushing over to me. She wanted to know if I knew where the custodians were...one of the boys had flooded the bathroom. I told her to go tell the office, they would radio the custodian, and I went into the bathroom to turn off the water. The entire floor was covered in water and there was toilet paper completely covering the toilet. I tried to turn off the water but I could't get the knob to turn so I went back out into the hall to wait for the custodian. Finally he showed up and with the combined help of the other 3 custodians they were able to shut the water off. The water had leaked into the hallway and soaked the carpet, making it reak of poo. I went back to the frumpy supervisor to ask what happened and who had done it. Well, the culprit was of course this little boy who used to go to the daycare where I work and who was in my mom's kindergarten class (he's in first grade now). He's always been a trouble maker and is known for doing the exact opposite of what he should be doing. I asked him how it happened and he told me that he was playing in the toilet and decided to fill it with 3 rolls of toilet paper to see what happened. This is why I love working with kids...they just don't think like adults!
