Karen, my co-teacher: Teaching middle school is challenging. [Turning to the kindergarten teachers we're sitting with]. Your kids are challenging in a different way.

Me: Like, your students pee themselves.

Bob, a kindergarten teacher: [Sighs]. Yeah, I had three of those today.

Karen: [Incredulously]. THREE KIDS PEED THEMSELVES?!

Bob: Yep.

Liz, another kindergarten teacher: In kindergarten, when it rains, it pours.
