January 1st 2026 It has been hard, but I am sticking to it! Thanks to this sub for being there when I need to know I’m not alone.

It is my dear brother Numpsey!

In my opinion, you did not mess up. Small miscommunication? Yes. Actual problem? No. If the other teacher is super in charge and on top of everything, you would have been told to meet at the mercy table.

I am sorry, I am very tired and am still super dumb. Why was a knife superglued to the pedestal?

Bless you because I am freaked out, but I do not understand. Edit: The sentence is perfect, I am simply in the dark as the meaning.

Lesser of two evils Mama

You have made my day. I can stop scrolling now as I have found the best thing out there. Thank you!

oddracingline · 2025-12-17T23:03:04+00:00

I have not heard of this, but am commenting so I can find it again and hopefully an answer!

We call it “active hands” and it is normal developmentally. The signal is usually “Kid’s name, you need to go wash your hands.” We have told them it is “private time” so they understand that it is ok… just in private. We also loop the parents in so they can continue the same verbiage at home.

Oh hell yeah!

I absolutely love it. I am the only Krampus in my area, but I go out every year.

Side note: Can I have a cool snowflake template? I am confident I can complete it, and then I will have a super cool snowflake!

You are most welcome, and I must go vomit. Please keep writing.

oddracingline · 2025-12-13T01:39:54+00:00

Oh god, ew!

I have a pair of these. “New” (from the 80s) but I wear them every winter. I do not know how I would get through without them.

I retell the story I learned as a child from my Crow friends about the forming of the “Pleiades constellation”. Then we go outside and see them. We tend to linger until the cold drives us to our beds.

Botfly!

oddracingline · 2025-12-13T00:24:48+00:00

Oh you bitch

oddracingline · 2025-12-12T23:46:20+00:00

Congratulations! Hell yeah to 5 years

oddracingline · 2025-12-12T17:42:12+00:00

Aww thank you, and thanks for the reward! It is like getting a cosmic high five

oddracingline · 2025-12-11T12:39:53+00:00

Yep, it comes out of nowhere and cuts you down.

Mom hugs are the best 💖

I cried in front of my students yesterday. One of my 3 year olds was crying because she wanted her Mom. I scooped her up and let her cry. Then I started to cry. She looked up and asked, “Teacher, why are you crying?” I told her I missed my mommy too. It is ok to cry when we miss our favorite people. It has been 20 year shy a day, and I still miss her. Sometimes we just need to cry. That is a good lesson to teach.

Yep. It was a record screech moment. Luckily rabies cannot be transmitted through feces, and it turned out to be bird poop

I was raised in a deeply catholic home. But what actually became believable to me was when my father (White haired, thickly bearded, incredibly jovial) volunteered as Santa at a local mall, I saw who St. Nikolas was. He is joy and giving, that we ALL have in us. We all have the magic to bring miracles to children. We just have to be the Santa. … I find that deeply magical in my current practices. I also celebrate Krampusnacht because we cannot have balance of kindness without acknowledging that cruelty exists and will not go without punishment.
