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...
