Bad breath? Terrible. Raving, I-need-to-erase-everything-and-start-over perfectionism? Exhausting. But by far and away the worst thing about second graders is ALL. THE. FUCKING. TATTLING.
Like many life experiences, tattles are often very funny after the fact. Annoying as hell when you're actually having to deal with them and there are 7-year-olds careening everywhere and you're trying to teach, but entertaining elsewhere.
Some gems:
"Miss L! Miss L! Dymon said I was tryin'a do the stanky leg and I wasn't!"
"Miss L! She got the same pencil I got!" < 99% of the conflicts in our class stem from Pencil Drama
"Miss L! She looked at me like this" (weird face)
"Miss L! She made a fist!"
"Miss L! She said boas ain't real!" < the snake.
"Miss L! She said I'm mixed!" < referring to race. This kid IS mixed though.
"Miss L! She messin' with me! < the most common, and most vague. At least 4x a day
One more day.
I will miss them though.

Okay, first of all, and most importantly, WHAT. THE. HELL. is the stanky leg?
Secondly, I'm soooo glad to know that it's not just my son. His teachers have made it out to us that he's the only one tattling in his classroom and that it's somehow part of his "condition". Glad to know that's not the case. We have however, made it very clear to him with his therapist that tattling is NOT acceptable. *sigh* But neither is smashing someone in the face because he ticked you off and you don't want to "tattle". LOL
