1. 95% of parents are GOOD parents. Even if they don't look like it or act like it. The other 5% LOOK like good parents, but wind up absolutely sucking.
2. Any attempts at managing the kids goes out the window when the icecream truck rolls past. (I shit you not, this even had "Greensleaves" going!)
3. Ditto for ambulances. (this one was somewhat sad: a kid that we take care of two days a week fell off the monkey bars and broke her arm. Thankfully we weren't looking after her at the time, her mum was! Kid came back today with a plaster cast and a pin in her wrist)
4. I have NEVER looked forward to the end of the year as much as I have in previous years. (Long story short: kid I've mention in my "denial" thread moves onto another school) Ditto for end of term (same kid does not go to vacation care )
5. 8-year-olds can still have tantrums >.<
edit: And #6.
-height ranges for kids can go ALL over the shop. While the Year 2's are all fairly consistent, the Year 1's and kindergarteners go all over the shop. It becomes about ten times funnier with one kid as she has an incredibly adorable 2-year-old sister who is not that much shorter than she is. Another kid with a 3-year-old brother is the same.
