Let's talk about the artistic masterpieces that come out of preschool art class. I received a drawing the other day from a student, and I swear, I thought it was a modern abstract piece. I asked the kid, "What's this?" And they proudly said, "It's you!" Well, if that's what I look like, I need to start investing in some serious skincare. But you've got to appreciate their creativity. I asked them to draw their favorite animal, and one kid handed me what looked like a purple giraffe with wings. I said, "Wow, that's unique. What is it?" And the kid goes, "It's a cat." Now, either I need to brush up on my animal kingdom knowledge, or this kid is the next Picasso, and I just don't get it.
And then there's the classic handprint turkey project for Thanksgiving. It starts off innocent enough, but by the end, you've got a turkey that looks like it survived a blender accident. And let's not forget the glitter – it's the herpes of the craft world. You touch it once, and it follows you around for weeks.

Preschoolers are expert negotiators. I had a kid come up to me and say, "If I eat all my vegetables, can I have extra playtime?" I thought, "Kid, you drive a hard bargain, but deal." But the real negotiation skills come out during snack time. I've seen kids trade snacks like Wall Street brokers. One kid offers a juice box, and suddenly, they're the preschool beverage magnate. Another one pulls out a fruit roll-up, and it's like they've got the preschool version of Bitcoin.
And then there's the inevitable negotiation over who gets to be the line leader. It's like they're vying for the presidency, complete with campaign promises and smear campaigns against the kid who always cuts in line.

You know, I recently discovered that being a preschool teacher is a lot like being a zookeeper, but with smaller, more unpredictable animals. I mean, you never really know what's going to happen in a room full of tiny humans armed with glue and glitter. I asked one of my students the other day, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And this kid looks me dead in the eyes and says, "A dinosaur." Now, I appreciate the imagination, but last time I checked, there's no "Jurassic Park Elementary School" on the map.
But the real challenge is trying to explain the concept of sharing to these kids. It's like negotiating a peace treaty at the United Nations, except the stakes are higher because it's the last red crayon, and there's only one kid who absolutely must have it or the world ends.
And nap time – don't even get me started on nap time. It's like trying to put a herd of caffeinated puppies to sleep. You dim the lights, play some soothing music, and five minutes later, you've got one kid doing interpretive dance in the corner and another one convinced they're the next Mozart banging on the xylophone.

Nap time in preschool is a tactical operation. It's like preparing for battle, only the enemy is sleep, and half the troops are armed with teddy bears. I've tried everything to get these kids to nap – soothing lullabies, warm milk, even a dramatic reading of "Goodnight Moon." One day, a kid came up to me and said, "I can't sleep without my superhero cape." I thought, "You know what, kid? If a superhero cape is the secret to nap time success, then by all means, fly into the land of dreams."
But there's always that one kid who refuses to nap, like they're training for the preschool Olympics of staying awake. I'm convinced they've got a secret energy drink stash hidden in their cubby. I mean, I need their source of energy because after dealing with a room full of preschoolers, I'm the one who needs a nap.
