Funny Preschoolers

We are doing Mother Goose Time Preschool this year - and loving it. I only had to spend $65 for the whole school year to do 2 days a week - taking turns teaching with the other moms. It's fun for me :-) and Taylor!
This month is a focus on different jobs. We played restaurant after the kids made their own menus. We had 2 customers, a waiter, and a chef.

Today, our friend Tim came over to talk to the kids about Policemen. He showed them all his gear and answered their questions. These are my 2 favorite questions they came up with:

#1 - What kind of tickets do you sell?

(It cracks me up the way preschoolers think! I mean, they know you can get a ticket for driving too fast, and those cost money, so the police must sell tickets. Logical, right?)

#2 - Why do you shoot bad guys when they're not raising their hands?

(In the preschool world, raising your hand is a big deal - a much bigger deal if you could get shot for not following procedure when answering questions. They may have seen a movie-cop yell, "put your hands up!" while pointing a gun, and thus created the logic of getting shot for not raising your hand.)

#3 - What kind of weapons do you carry? 2 small guns and a shot gun he left at work, 2 flashlights, 2 knives, an ASP (wacking stick), and pepper spray.

The girls checking out the less dangerous things:

Tim's kids were the most daring to try things on:

Taylor did try on the gas mask, though!

We also practiced fingerprinting.

Another fun thing we've done in preschool is build cardboard computers. :-) I love how Mother Goose Time sends us ready-to-make crafts!
