Can you guess where I work?

Commonly uttered phrases at my place of employment:
  • Get your hands out of your pants.
  • Get your hands OUT of your pants!
  • Stop "pwew-ing" your friends. (As in, pwew pwew gun noises)
  • Is that poop or mud? (this has been a serious question faaaar to many times)
  • Various dog commands. i.e. SIT! STAY! NO! (we have several children who don't speak English...)
  • Get that out of your mouth...
  • That's so friendly! Or more often
  • That's not friendly!
  • Watch where you're going! (directed towards little boys at the toilet)
  • Too bossy... (one of my very overused phrases for when they don't "ask nicely," I have to stop myself from automatically saying it when people (i.e. Josh) don't say please...haha)
  • Can you do it by yourself or do I have to help you like a baby?
  • An explanation approximately 12 times for any visible band-aid or cut/scratch/bruise
  • I'm going to count to three and then I'm going to strangle you. One....two.....
Ok so maybe that last one is only in my head. Most of the time.

Didja guess it?

Receptionist it is.

Psych.

Preschool teacher.

Obviously.

Three year olds will be the death of me but I'd like to meet anyone with an office job who can use any of these phrases on a daily basis...
