"Don't Put Your Shoestring in Your Nose"

As a preschool teacher to three and four year olds, I often find myself saying some of the most random things. When this happens, I often pause afterwards to think , "Did I really have to just say that?" Then I look over and see my associate laughing, and yep, I really did just say that. Today it happened during circle time. I was in the middle of changing CDs during music time, when I look up and see one of my students sticking his shoestring up his nose. Apparently I should have covered not sticking shoestrings up your nose as part of our circle time rules; who knew?
