There's no crying in...kindergarten

Today, the reason I left kindergarten in the first place, came back and hit me like a ton of bricks. Criers. I had two darling boys boo hooing today. The first one was manageable. But with 1 minute until dismissal, after I had asked everyone to bring me their sticker charts if they earned a sticker, one child sat and sobbed on the carpet. I was rushing kids out the door, when I heard, "Tommy's crying." I approached Tommy and asked what the problem was.
"You didn't give me a sticker," was his response.
"No," I replied. "You didn't come and GET your sticker," I answered.
He then said, "Because you didn't give me one."
HELLO! What part of GET YOUR STICKER do you not understand? Well, the crying was so obnoxious and unreasonable, that I finally said NO STICKER, and sent him to the bus (crying the whole way). I sat down at 3:00 and thought for the first time this year: I miss 3rd grade:(
