The punishment fits the crime…
"Hello, May I speak to Brandon’s mom please?"
"Speaking."
"This is the principal calling,"
‘Great’ I thought, ‘either the school is burning down or he’s in trouble.’
"We’ve had an incident involving your son and another little boy in school."
"ok…" it’s the latter… little shiz disturber…
"He was in the bathroom with the other boy and he was going to spank a classmate’s bum, so the other boy peed all over your child from head to toe."
I began to smirk… "Really?"
"Yes. Your son said he was hiding his hand behind his back and was going to spank the other boys bum while he was peeing. He other child didn’t want to be spanked so he peed on your son. Now we’ve given him a new shirt and we’re wondering what you want us to do? If you want us to send him on the bus or if you’d like to pick him up?"
I began to laugh really hard. For 2 minutes straight I just sat on the phone laughing. "Sorry" was all I could sputter. I tried so hard to keep it together. "That’s hilarious! He got peed on cuz he tried to spank another boy?!?" BAHAHAHAAHAH….
"I hope you’re not going to do this in front of your son," the principal.
Tears are streaming down my cheeks from laughing…
I take a deep breath."Oh no! Don’t worry, I’m just getting it out now so that when he comes home I’ll be serious." I bite my lip to try to stop myself from giggling again. "I’ll have a talk with him about keeping his hands to himself and to not spank anybody while they are going to the bathroom." I try to sound serious but I’m still killing myself laughing inside.
"I’ve spoken to both the boys so hopefully this will not happen again," the princial said.
"Yes, of course. Mind you, it is rather funny. Just send him on the bus. If he is full of pee, he can just dry off and take a bath when he gets home. He’s one of 5. If this was my first I’d be freaking out, but this is funny and really the punishment fits the crime. I don’t mean to be making light of the situation, but you’ve got to admit… it’s funny." I responded.
"Yes, and when they are out of my presence I will be doing the same thing you are," she replied.
Never a dull moment in our house. I always thought Josh would be the first one to cause trouble and have the principal call me, but I guess it’s Brandon. That surprises me.
Still… I can’t believe he got peed on. When I told Ryan he just laughed and said, "When I was in Grade 1, I got peed on too." LOL… like father like son.
