Once or twice a month, school kids bring home Scholastic book order forms in hopes that their parents are too tired and run down to realize the books cost half as much at the store as they do from Scholastics.
I am one of teh lazy parents who finds it easier to fork over the 8.99 for a book on Pokemon for the dog to chew on than to listen to the children whine.
I was quite pleased that they had chosen a book under five bucks and was off on my merry way.
Until I heard the boys giggling about how they would be sitting on Santa’s Face over and over and over again.
I Had planned on telling them about the birds and the bee’s myself, But I guess a little book learning is just as good.
I was writing up the previous post when my son walked in the door, home from school. I didn’t turn to look at him, just tossed a “hi Honey” over my shoulder.
That is I didn’t turn to look at him until he replied back “hi mom” in the saddest voice ever. Since me, the hubs and the MIL are all sick as dogs, I asked :
Are you sick?
no
are you feeling OK?
yes
Did you get hurt coming home from school?
No.
All in such a sad little voice. By now I have ditched the computer and the opp I was typing up to go to him. He sounded so damn sad and I said that to him.
He started to cry saying “Thats becuase I AM sad!”
He bough ten Pokemon cards with his own money and has been taking and trading them at school with his friends since Monday.
Today some one stole all his cards.
I had JUST - as in not ten minutes before he came home- completed a payment on eBay for a lot of 60 cards. They were supposed to be for his birthday at the end of the month, but he just looked SO sad, so I told him (and showed him them).
Still. not nice, stealing form a classmate. Not nice at ALL..
He told me that during social studies they go to a different room and a different class uses their classroom. His friend D was in his desk, but D was his best friend in grade two and still is, he wouldn’t have taken them.
Kind makes me proud he is willing to stick up for a pal, and give them the benefit of the doubt, but still. Not nice to steal from a kid. I hope his teacher can get to the bottom of it.
