What Tito's teacher must think of me.

It's a proud moment, as a parent (and especially as the literary sort), when you see your child discovering the written word as an effective means of communication.



Until you read the translation.



So, just to recap, here's what my kindergartener has told his teacher:

Mommy drinks and drives all the time.
Mommy puts Medicine in her soda.
Mommy won't let me go to the park.
Mommy makes me sad.


Perfect.

You're either going to NEVER hear from his teacher or she'll pull you aside and talk to you in soothing tones to distract you while the strike team assembles.

Personally, I think you should get some kind of Awesome Mom Award but then again, I'm not you kid. :D

You totally rule.

As long as you teach them your incredible sense of humour, I think they'll make it through.

Your blog is like a late-night-SAHM version of the Office. I can see you glancing up at the camera ala "Jim" when you read the translated script.

Go on, email your blog to NBC as the screenplay :0)

TITO! Stop ratting out your Soccer Mom to your teacher! She's got enough to worry about!

Geez, PK, no wonder you pack a flask wherever you go--with narcs like that, who needs enemies?

(word verification macroose. Kinda like a contraction of Skater's name and caboose, of which I know you are fond)

How about "mommy plays with big needles?"

Yes, a guy makes a knitting joke.

I am SO getting kicked out of the guy club!

sent with best wishes for your upcoming parent teacher conference from beautiful Daytona Beach :)

I'm pretty sure that as a teacher, she knows the difference between a kid who is honest about what his mom says and a kid who's so petrified of his mum that he can't even speak and sits in a corner all hunched over. They teach you what to look for in Teacher School, remember...

You're like me: you love your kids with every fiber of your being but wonder if your love is somehow imperfect. I know how it goes.

I will, however, laugh my head off when Tito reports to his teacher, "This weekend, my mother made me wrestle and eat a live cat." Now THAT would be worth a call from the principal, even if it's to say, "Day-um, Mrs Karma, c'mon over and show me how you do that...!"

Is it too early to teach tact?

Dude, to expand on Speed Racer's joke:

"My mommy shares needles."

And if you take up crochet:

"My mommy is a hooker now."

KK - thank you for taking my joke to the next level. I'm still learning all this knitting stuff.
