I knew it was going to happen, I mean I'm not a parenting rookie. I also know this isn't the last time that Wade says something slightly inappropriate in class. Wade is the baby of four kids...he is the kid that I had to remind that not every other preschooler would enjoy his Gollum impression (the creepy dude from the Lord of the Rings movies, yeah Wade does a "My precious!!!" impression that is freakishly good), he is the kid that understands football better than a lot of adults, he is the kid that just asked if he could "get twitter."
Don't get me wrong, we don't let him watch R-rated movies, he doesn't have his own phone or kindle or iPad or anything else electronic, he isn't allowed to say bad words or even slightly bad words like "butt" or "this sucks." BUT he knows way more about life and seen way more Disney XD than my 14-year-old did in kindergarten. And that is why I wasn't too surprised by what he recently shared during story time.
My baby boy proudly brought home the picture he drew, and the story he wrote about and shared with his entire kindergarten class. The picture and the story of his dogs humping, or "huping" as he wrote. Yup, that's right.
I can only imagine the conversations around the dinner tables of his classmates that night. "mommy what is humping?" or "a boy told a story today about humping." Ahhhhhh! And I can only say "I'm so sorry."
Our kitchen table conversation that night was mostly muffled giggles and me sternly looking at the older kids silently screaming at them to knock it off, but then we ultimately all had a good laugh. Because it won't be the last time something like this happens, and having four kids has taught me you have to laugh at so much of life.
And just in case you forgot, here's a clip of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.

As Taylor Swift would say, "Humpers gotta hump," or something :) I wonder if his teacher though, "Hmmm, maybe he's spelling hug," and Wade corrected her, "No. HUMP."
ReplyDeleteI would love having Wade in my class as a kindergarten teacher. I imagine it would be nice to break up the baby talk with a good old fashioned story about humping once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI like Angela's comment.
