DS's Seinfield Moment at Middle School

[Disneyglobegirl]

Just had to share my son's "Seinfield moment" he had at school this week. He just started 6th grade at the new middle school and after the first couple days of school this girl started calling the house to talk to him. He would jump around and be really happy whenever she called. She's been calling everynight but Wed night she did not call. I didn't think anything of it but he was kind of bummed. After I picked him up from school yesterday he seemd kind of bummed and I asked him what was wrong - He said " Well Christina doesn't like me anymore" I asked why - he said that " Her friend told him that she doesn't like him because she saw him picking his nose in the hallway" He looked at me all upset and said "But mom I wasn't picking I was scratching" He got a little upset when I laughed but I told him " Son your in middle school now - keep your fingers away from your nose at all times. kids are just waiting to tease anyone that looks like they might be picking their noses" I know that he is upset over this - but I couldn't help but laugh ( bad mom) I just kept thinking of that Seinfield episode where the girl sees Jerry "picking" - LOL

Good news is he is over it already and not too upset anymore. BUt he wouldn't be happy knowing that I am sharing his story.

"No pick! No pick!!!"

Aw, I'm sorry about Christina and I hope your ds is feeling better about the whole thing. When I was in 8th grade, my 'boyfriend', Jack broke up with me because I got a perm.

Middle school is an adventure, isn't it?! A big hug to your sweet boy!

Thanks luvmydogs!

I know I shouldn't laugh - I remember all too well the pains of middle school(jr high) But I just kept thinking of that seinfield episode - LOL

Anyway I think it helped to make him laugh about it and we talked about middle school and kids can be mean but he needs to just let it slide and go on and I am sure there will be other girls who call - Man i am not ready for this - LOL

Gota love middle school with the 6th graders. I teach 6th grade and this is the funniest part of the year. Was testing a group of mine during HR yesterday and they asked me since they are seeing me this morning if they have to come back during 6th period.

LOL- and in their minds I'm sure they thought they might be getting out of class because of seeing you that morning - LOL - 6th grade is a big adjustment for these kids. One day DS loves the new middle school the next he says he wishes he was back at the elementary.
