Today, it was the first day of my job at a kindergarten. A boy fell over in the playground, so I ran over to see if he was OK. He got up and had a huge red mark on the side of his face. Shocked, I yelled "Oh my god, your face!" Turns out it's a very large port-wine birthmark and now he won't stop crying. FML

Today, one of the children at my daycare came up to me and bit me on the face. He laughed so hard at my scream, that he threw up in my lap. FML
Today, I started my first day working at a toddler day care center. At one point I decided to play "got your nose" with one of the kids. It turns out this kid has a physical birth abnormality on his face. I got his nose... his prosthetic nose. FML
Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML
Today, I was at the park with my friends. We were all having fun on the swings, when out of nowhere I heard a thud, followed by a child crying. Turns out I accidentally kicked him in the head. FML
Today, at work, the most handsome guy walked in. Starstruck, I went to greet him and then take him to the owner's office, only to promptly walk really hard into the corner of the door frame, smacking my forehead. I have a massive bruise and my boss won't stop laughing. FML
Today, I volunteered to help out at an elementary school. I accidentally elbowed a little girl in the face while playing tag. And an hour later, a little boy flew out of his swing because I accidentally pushed him too hard. They're both siblings and are my child psychology instructor's kids. FML
Today, at the small daycare I run, I turned around to put something away. I heard a splashing sound and then saw one of my kids vomiting. He puked several times, and managed to hit the only rug in the entire house. FML
Today, I was feeling sick and fainted while teaching my kindergarten class. I came to when one boy poured a cup of water on my face. Three kids were crying into my walkie talkie, telling the office I was dead, and the rest of the class had disappeared. FML
Today, I fell asleep at work and woke up with penis sharpied on my face. I'm a kindergarten teacher. FML

YDI because you dont react like that to a child, it will freak them the **** out. but also FYL because how would you know?

Try to explain it to him. Be nice. Kids are forgiving when you can own up to your mistakes. And for future reference, a better response would be: "That was quite a fall. Are you okay?" in a calm, caring voice.You being scared makes them scared.

Top example of handling things in a professional way there. Birthmark or none, how would you react if you got in a car accident and I ran over screaming 'Jesus Christ, your legs!!'?

Your pretty ******* stupid for a teacher. If that was part of the accident instead of the birth mark you would have made him more alarmed. Your supposed to stay come you dick weed.

My spellcheck doesn't correct grammar. Your is a word, as is you're. Even if it was used incorrectly, it would still appear okay.

Don't use spell check as a crutch. It is frequently wrong and it just goes to show that you are incapable of thinking without assistance.

I would like to point out that people are freaking about your/you're when the poster typed "come" instead of "calm" Or at least, that is what I assume he/she was trying to say.

So these children, you didn't look at them beforehand? I mean if it was so big you should have seen it. I knew a guy with one on his face, he was quite cute anyways. You could clearly see it and even I as a child (2nd grade but I knew him later too) knew it was some kind of birthmark. And guys it doesn't say shes a teacher, I think she is somekind of playground attendent. As for freaking out the kid yeah, you shouldn't do it but it was her first day so she paniced a little.

you actually said 'oh my god, your face!'? in front of the kid? with other kids around? you freaked out in front of kids? you're in the wrong profession you f'ing moron. you could actually do emotional damage to the the little ones. go work in a grocery store or, better yet, night guard. at least you won't be around. kids.

OK, part of a job is on the job learning experiences. Maybe shes never been trained to handle children before. Maybe this is her first time working with children and shes just starting to learn how to interact with them and hasn't mastered keeping calm with them yet. Secondly, saying "Oh my god, your face!" isn't going to emotionally debilitate a child for the rest of its life either. If kids were that easy to **** up then people would be emotionally deranged left and right. I just get so annoyed with how righteous and judgmental and all knowing people get on this web page. Stop assuming shit. You know 2-3 lines about this persons experience and you feel like you know enough to jump down their throat, WTF?

#56 it's common sense not to scream something like that if you believe that person is seriously injured. it only causes the potential injured person to panic which just makes the situation worse. so even if OP hadn't ever worked with kids before they should have known not to panic the kid. also screaming 'oh my God your face!' most likely won't harm the other children, but to the kid with the birthmark it actually can be traumatizing and can cause lifelong self esteem issues. kids remember things, especially things like that. take for example, me. when ibwas around 5 or so someone made a comment on the mark on my ear that was caused by a cigarette burn, because of that remark I have refused to tie my hair back and show that ear from that day forward. just because you don't think it will happen doesn't mean it won't actually happen.
