reasons i shouldn't be a preschool teacher

Today, I realized my job description reads like this: color, draw, sing, cut, paste, play duck duck goose. Hazards include debilitizing stomach viruses and the HI flu. I'm not sure if I'm in the right profession. One, I don't even really like kids that much. I like kids more than other things, including but not limited to: anchovies, stomach viruses, canned mushrooms, and passive aggressive behavior. Perhaps I'm exaggerating, because really, kids are not that bad. In large groups, they can be annoying, loud, and very silly, but they generally aren't mean-spirited or out to get you. Generally. Two: I don't think of myself as particularly animated, which is really important if you are a preschool teacher. I've seen YouTube videos, and I just cannot get that excited about the Five Little Pumpkins. It's madness. And the level of animation spikes when you have to speak to them in a language they don't understand. The Five Little Pumpkins are the best and most AMAZING thing in the entire world!!(The real deal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9r65lQUqMg ) Three: Working with children makes you act like a child. It's not proven, but childish behavior at inappropriate times can be linked to be surrounded by mountains of children day in and day out. Having to remind yourself that you are the adult in any given situation is disconcerting, to say the least. Well, now that I've finished writing about how ill-suited I am for my current position, I better get back to it. The children are waiting!
