This is short and sweet.

I work at a preschool that teaches 18 month to 5 year olds. I'm with the 18 month to 2 year range.

During snack this morning, I'm encouraging a boy to put his leftover snack in his cup to throw away. He is easily distracted, so he wanders off when I have to stop another kid from trying to get the hand sanitizer on her own.

The other teacher in the room tells the boy to throw his cup away and I watch as he dumps out his leftover pretzels and throw just the cup away.

He did throw away the pretzels on his own after but it made me giggle that he followed the letter and not the spirit of the directions.
