This cracked me up because I can so relate. However, I tell my kids to sit criss cross applesauce with peanut-butter and jelly hands. I've also noticed that love is in the air because some of my kids have been trying to hold hands during carpet time. Oh, the joys of teaching kindergartners!

Why doesn’t this work anymore? Why are my students ignoring me? Why is Duck lying down on top of Ferdinand?"
