Part of my job as a toddler teacher is that I have to write up evaluations for the children I work with. It's basically a two-page summary of how the child has been developing in the room, what they can and can't do, etc. We do these summaries every three months.
My co-teacher and I split our class of 8, and one of my kids just had a one month eval done, so she wasn't due for a three month just yet. I had never done these before, so I was happy to have just 3 to do so I could make sure they were done right.
I gave the hard copies to my lead teacher so she could look them over and make copies for her records. She approached me later in the day and said for a first timer these were perfect.
"Just one little problem" she told me. I asked what it was.
She hands me back one of the evals, and I can see I had written the following:
...feels herself with a fork, turning the fork over constantly.
Oh geez.
Quickly made the L a D before photocopying to give to the parent to take home later that day. Won't be living this one down for a while.

Ouch.
At least she's not sporkin herself.
