Our Hunter is in grade one. Each day the class has a new word they have to use in a sentence. The word was "Mom". Easy enough. In his agenda was a letter from the teacher. It went something like this:
Dear Mrs. Diletti. Although a very creative sentence Hunter's sentence was not appropriate for school. I have spoken with him and explained why. Maybe you could discuss it with him. Thank you.
Now I'm a little worried. I had trouble desivering his printing so Hunter read his work. With a huge smile showing off his wonderful dimples he reads " My mom has rules. No saying bitch, stupid, idiot or moron".
He repeated his sentence over and over as each family member gather in the kitchen to hear his work. The laughter was uncontrollable. Hunter was so happy to have such a large audience, complete oblivious to the humour. I took him into the Living room away from the histeria and explained that it was a very creative sentence but blah blah blah was all he heard. His response was "but Mom it's the rules".

This reminds me of the 'dirty johnny goes to school' jokes.
Ok, I have to say my favourite. I hope Hunter isn't a 'dirty johnny'
The teacher asked dirty Johnny's class to come up with a word from each letter in the alphabet, and to use that word in the sentence. The kids all put up their hands when each letter was called out, and teacher carefully made sure never to pick Johnny, particularly with the letters a,c,f,p,s, etc. Finally the letter 'u' came and Johnny was the only one with his hand up. Teacher couldn't think of a bad word with 'u', so she begrudgingly said 'ok Johnny, What's your word?"
"Urinate!", said Johnny.
"Oh, Lord!", thought the teacher. But it was a word. And it wasn't really a bad word. She actually was impressed that a child that age knew the proper word. So finally with hesitation, she said to Johnny, "Ok Johnny, what's your sentence, then?"
Dirty Johnny said,"You're-an-eight, but if you had bigger jugs, you'd be a ten!"
ok. That's inappropriate for the blog, but I had to tell the joke, I've just had a coffee, and am a little wired on an empty stomach.
Love your story with Hunter.
Even though I was seated at the computer I was transported back to a different "seat" with lots of Reader's Digest Magazines.
