I was chastising a 9-year-old for hitting another. The excuse was of the " He hit my friend, so I..." variety.

Me: " It's my job to sort this out, not yours. Next thing I know,you'll want some of my pay for doing my job for me."

Child, with incredulity writ large on his face: "You get PAID for being a teacher?!"

I still haven't worked out whether he was referring to the delights of the profession in general, or commentng more personally on my own contribution.....
