spying

So I was sitting around the lunch table with the 4 year olds today, and I asked what they learned in their classes today. No information was forthcoming. In fact, Dennis told me "I just sat there and picked my nose." So I asked him what the other kids did in his class today and he said "nothing--we all just sat there and picked our noses. Even Mrs. Nancy just sat there and picked her nose." I'm sure that's exactly what happened. I decided on our way out this afternoon that we'd make a detour into his classroom so I could see what he really did. He was happy to show me this very intricate spiderweb he'd made on black paper using glue and white iridescent glitter. His spiderweb looked much more like a spiderweb than the others I glimpsed there on the drying rack alongside his. I presume they sang about the Itsy Bitsy Spider as well because he sang it off and on all afternoon. I'm so glad I work there so I can observe what he's really up to when he tells me he picked his nose all day.
