finish.

well, today was my last day at work. i'm sure i should be pondering life's meaning and having deep thoughts or something. but i'm allison. i want to laugh it up.

so here is a top ten list. the top ten phrases i uttered/shouted over the last 3 years. i had to use my "teacher voice" for these. it strikes fear into the hearts of half of them, but the rest just cackle in defiance.

1. no, it's NOT yours.
2. keep your hands out of your pants!
3. feet stay on the floor. (used during climbing fiascos...they like to scale the classroom furniture)
4. shoes stay on your feet.
5. you have to wear clothes at school.
6. pushing. hurts. OUCH. (varations include: hitting hurts, biting hurts, running into people with cars hurts, scratching hurts, pulling hair hurts, hitting people with drumsticks hurts, etc.)
7. your tongue should stay in your mouth. (don't ask)
8. everyone back up, i need to clean that up. don't touch it! (use your imagination)
9. we do not eat out of the trash. (or: we do not eat off the floor). we only eat what is on our plates.
10. look where you're walking! (inevitably followed by someone plowing into the wall)

they're animals. animals. this is wildly inappropriate, and i've done it before, but:

similarities between small children and animals:
- they bite/attack each other
- they eat off the floor/out of the trash
- they lap up liquid off any surface. puddles. toilets. liquid of any kind, in any place.

and

similarities between small children and drunk people:
- they stumble around
- they speak incoherently
- they like to dance on tables
- they're either really happy, or really mad, or really sad
