Proud Parenting Moments #763

So, the boy's school gives out Student of the Month awards at assembly.  Not everyone gets one.  I've known parents who've had smalls at the school who have never recieved one.  Frankly, I find them a little annoying.  You have good kids who happily plod along getting good results, behaving themselves, playing nicely who never get an award.  Then you get the child who just about murders someone on a daily basis in the playground but one day, for five minutes, actually does what they are told and get awarded for it!  (Excuse my rant!)

 

Late last week we got the call asking that we might be needed at Monday morning's assembly as someone was getting the big call out!  I did ask Isaac's teacher whether he might be getting one for good spelling during his graffiti stint, but apparently no.

 Trying his best at all times and being a nice friend to his classmates.

(such a spunky boy!)

 

And of course, there is no way Isaac could have been a sensible child who calmly walks out to the principal in front of the entire school to recieve his award.  Of course not. 

 

 

Clearly, I have a class clown in the making!

We rarely see our neighbour so when she knocked on the door this afternoon I knew there must have been a problem...

All clearly written in permanent texta on a fence that is not ours!

 

 

 

 

Clearly they had to clean up their own handywork!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The one with the f word...

"Dear Mrs Strachan.  I am sorry for using yukky words and for telling lies.  From Isaac"

Last week I made Isaac - who is 5!!!- write this letter to his teacher.  She had tapped me on the shoulder after school with some tales from Isaac's day.  Apparently the 'f' word had escaped his mouth during story writing time.  Hilariously she was impressed that he'd used it in context as he was cross with himself for making a mistake!  His story goes that he wasn't saying f@*k but was saying 'facuum' and that Lauren (the dobber!) had misheard him because the words had the same sounds in them.  When suggested that vacuum starts with a v not an f he ever so nicely pointed out his mild speech impediment which means he sometimes pronounced sounds different! 

The lying was not about denying the use of the f word either.  He'd also shared a story about our recent trip to Queensland where he got to go to Movie World and meet Buzz Lightyear.  Which would be fine if we actually went to Movie World and met Buzz Lightyear... which we didn't.  I was impressed he was able to conjure up so many details about the trip and should probably pen a thank you to the Queensland Tourist Board for placing such extensive advertising on the cartoon channel!

I don't need to look far to see where he's learnt such language as it's quite possible that it may have slipped out of my mouth from time to time - hard to believe from a lady such as myself I know! 

Some days need a good 'fuck' dropped into them though, don't you agree!? 

Just praps not around the small people anymore!
