Real live fun times at work

Today was actually a fun day at work for me (Jessica). It was the first day of summer groups. I'll be involved with two of these each week, the same kids come back each week. Today was 7-8 year olds. We take the kids out into the community to work on goals and skill sets. Today's goals were anger control, following directions, and not arguing. The kids actually did great and their manners were the best I have seen out of a group ever! Granted, these are the cute younger ones and it was only the first day. We took them to Burger King, the park, and Dairy Queen. These are some of the funny comments of the day that I'm allowed to tell you. 1.) Kid - "Is that your car?" Me-"Yes, it is." Kid-"That's a sweet car, you should put flames on it and spinners. Then it would be pimping." Me-"Oh, and what does pimping mean?" Kid-"I don't know." 2.)After another staff member asking if anyone has asthma problems while on a nature trail this kid starts covering his nose and mouth. Me-"Are you o.k.?" Kid (in a panic type voice, try to picture the giraffe from Madagascar)-"Is there asthma in the air?!?! Can I catch it?!?!" The day actually went by fast and it was fun. Tomorrow we have some older, more intense kids so we'll see how it goes.
