Justice?

Apparently, an accident is only an accident when you are the one responsible. Otherwise...Outrage! Foul play! Villainy! With the decibels off the chart across the room, you would think that someone lost an eye. The pleas of the innocent go unheeded. “Off with his head!” Thank goodness justice is not left up to the little ones.

 

Sharing

Sharing

What's yours is mine and what's mine is...mine. That sums it up nicely. The definition of sharing apparently is fuzzy in little minds. Once a little mind sets little eyes on a desired object, those little hands will do (or say) anything to get it. If I truly thought that they were capable of coldly calculating the deceit, I just might find another line of work. 

 

Space Invaders

On a daily basis, I am groped, pawed, poked, grabbed, pinched and generally mauled from the literal first second I step into the room to the last child leaving. Don't get me wrong, a hug is nice, but when a little boy comes over and stretches his hands up in an attempt to be picked up, they don't end up on my shoulders. Personal space is not in their vocabulary and I am apparently a moving theme park ride. 

This is an older comic I drew. It's a little crude and Colby didn't help me clean it up. Sorry. 

The Paradox

Have you ever been followed around by a child trying desperately to fix his situation by doing the very thing he was told not to do? I have, frequently. This contradictory behavior is amazing to watch. It will also give you lock-jaw from all the teeth clenching you do to keep from finding the nearest duct tape. This point usually comes when he sets his record on “repeat” and drags himself across the floor as if he is the lone survivor in a vast desert of oppression. Oh the irony, if only he would stuff a sock in it, he wouldn't be in trouble anymore.

 

Sociopaths

Kids will be kids...or is it Sociopaths?

Sociopath: a person afflicted with a personality disorder characterized by a tendency to commit antisocial and sometimes violent acts and a failure to feel guilt for such acts. Hhhmm, sound familiar? I am at a loss for words when I stare into the gleeful eyes of a child who has committed nothing short of aggravated assault. Surely he knows what is coming to him...surely.
