Ever had a teacher question you over something your kid said??

[DebIreland]

Years ago, my brother's teacher asked everyone in the class what their Dad's job was (Moms didn't work apparently lol). Anyway, my Dad worked in a grain silo but when it was my brother's turn to answer, he couldn't pronounce the word silo so he said "Dad is in the asylum". At that time, there was a free food scheme here in schools for families struggling so my brother was promptly put on the list and had free milk and rolls for a month. My mother didn't find out until a few weeks later when a teacher approached her and said she was sorry that my Dad was having mental health issues. My mother was inclined to agree with the assessment there (and was probably impressed with the teacher's insights, lol) but she got to the bottom of it!

My cousin also benefitted on and off from the free food scheme. The teacher would ask whose father was out of work (totally insensitive too when I think of it!) and my cousin, one week would raise her hand and the next week, wouldn't. The thing is her Dad worked alternate shifts, one week nights, next week days She was just a little bit too literal and on the weeks he worked nights he wasn't physically at work when she answered the question so the hand went up and the free food was given. So she ended up doing alternate shifts with the free food

These are great! It's making me realize that I never heard whatever misinformation my DS's were sharing with their teachers...so if it was something bad, the poor teachers probably still believe it!

When I was running a Daycare a few years back.
We were at a play group one morning and the little girl I was taking care of wanted to do something that I didn't want her to do.
So I said I'm saying No to that and if your Mom was here I know she would say No also.

Here reply back was
I know my Mom would say "Yes"
She loves the word "Yes"
Last night when she was sleeping in her room I heard her say
YES YES YES

When I was in kindergarten I told my teacher we ate pigeon every week for dinner.

The teacher called that night asking if we were having financial problems and offered us some governmental support agencies. My mother informed her that my grandfather called Cornish Hens (little chickens) pigeons as a joke.

Needless to say it has been a family joke ever since.

OMG, that is the funniest thing I've read. I need to stop dissing an start working or I'm gonna get fired!

This is one of my nightmares. My DS is verbal (to put a good spin on it) and he has a tendancy to be very observant at the same time. I really wonder sometimes what things have come out of his mouth.

When dd was in about 2nd grade, they had a sub in school. She wasn't feeling well and wanted to come home and since her dad works nights, he was usually the one they called to come get her. She told the sub, "The nurse needs to call my mom today instead of Daddy. Daddy is at the police station and then has to go to court today."

The nurse called me laughing hysterically when the sub told her about it. My ex is a cop and was also the DARE officer at the school at the time. So, yeah, he was at the police station and had to go to court to testify on a case later that day--he was working!

I don't know of too many odd things that DD has told her teachers. THey have never told me about them anyway.

But some things that DD told me. When she was about 5 and in daycare during the summer they would take field trips everyday. One evening while watching the news or something DD blurts out that Miss Priscilla drinks and drives while they are on their field trips. I knew she wouldn't 'drink and drive'. Upon more questioning Miss Priscella was drinking Diet Coke.

DD was in 1st grade and a Highway Patrol officer came to talk to the class. DD sits there with her hand raised for a while and finally was called on. She proceeds to tell the officer and her teacher that her mommy was 'caught' by the police. In actuality I was stopped for speeding about 2 years before while she was in the car with me but she made it sound like I was running drugs or something.

This happened this year. It was the first cold day of the school year. I sent DS in his winter coat with his hat and a pair of lightweight gloves, since he had lost all of his other gloves the year before and I hadn't replaced them yet.

That night, I get a note in his assignment notebook from his 2nd grade teacher.

"Bailey came up to me at recess today because he was cold. Please remember that the cold weather is upon us, and send his appropriate cold weather gear."

I was livid! Did she think the gloves I had sent were not warm enough? What was her problem? It WAS the first cold day of the year, a little slack would have been nice!

I then start talking to DS. Turns out, he had left everything on the bus, and instead of telling his teacher that, he acted like I hadn't sent it!

Well, this wasn't something my DD said, but in 3rd grade 2 of her vocabulary words were "tavern" and "sober." On her test, she had to write sentences using them, so she wrote "my dad is always at the Tavern and my mom is never Sober." She got a 100 on the test, but the teacher put a little note on it saying "I'm sure this is not true, but if it is, I do have some contacts at AA that can help you." We were mortified.

That is funny!

I am a nanny and was watching a very active 2 yr old boy. He was constantly jumping off furniture and I was constantly telling him that he was going to crack his head open. One day he jumped and hit his back on his dresser. He comes crying to me screaming "I cracked my back open! I cracked my back open!" After checking to make sure he was ok it was all I could do to keep from laughing

These stories are hysterical!

My oldest daughter, now 22, attended Kindergarten at a Catholic school. One day near Christmas, her teacher was discussing Jesus and his upcoming birthday. Well, my daughter raised her hand and announced, "speaking of birthdays, it's MY birthday today!" This was in December and my daughter's birthday is in May.

The teacher was young and in her first year of teaching. She just took my daughter's word for it, and at lunchtime she ran out to a nearby supermarket and purchased a birthday cake. That afternoon the class enjoyed cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday to my daughter. When I went inot the school at the end of the day to pick up my daughter, another teacher was in the hallway and happily said to me, "I see you're here to pick up the birthday girl!"

Huh? I said, "Um, I don't think so."

When I got to the Kindergarten room, I thought it was strange that my daughter was in a hurry to leave. She was usually still stuffing papers in her backpack and getting her coat on. There was a different teacher on duty in the room, so I had no idea what had transpired that day, until my daughter brought it up at dinner that night. Well, I was horrifed that she had lied about it being her birthday, (she said that she meant she "wished" it was her birthday!), and I was horrified that the school probably thought I was a loser of a mother for 'forgetting' my own daughter's birthday!

The next day, I sent a note in to the teacher explaining that it WASN'T my daughter's birthday, along with money to cover the cost of the birthday cake. We still run into this teacher once in awhile and she still laughs about our daughter pulling that one over on her. She said after that, she always made it a point to check on the dates of her student's birthdays!!
