2 "proud parent" moments in 1 week!!

So our kindergartener Logan comes home from school each day with either a star for good behavior, or a checkmark (or two, or three) for not so good behavior. The other day he came home with a checkmark, and as we looked through his notebook, we found the reason why. The picture below explains it all. His teacher wrote the message in green:



We of course tried not laugh as we explained that "fart" is not an appropriate word to use, especially for school assignments. (Rolling my eyes). And as if this wasn't enough to make us proud, we got a phone call from the principal today, who said that Logan had something he needed to tell me. She handed him the phone and all I heard was sniffles. So the principal took the phone back and said he was too sad to tell me. She explained that Logan received a referral to her office, and the referral said that "Logan pulled down his pants and showed his butt to his classmates." As you can imagine, I was mortified!! I heard her stifle a giggle and the principal said "I'm trying not to laugh, but it's good that he's crying because he knows he made a mistake, and we're going to have him apologize to his teacher and classmates when he goes back to class." Of course I thanked her for calling and said we'd talk to him about it when he gets home from school. It was so embarrassing to get that phone call! Logan was so afraid to tell us about it when he got home, especially because we have talked to him about keeping his private parts private, particularly in public! But we made him explain what happened (and trust me, making him tell us about it was punishment enough!). After he told us, we asked him why he did it. He didn't have a reason, he just did it. If I had to guess though, I think he was trying to be funny to his classmates, the gomer! We pried for more info, and he said they were lined up in the hallway when he did it, and his teacher didn't see, but his classmates told on him (good for them!). I'm glad his teacher didn't see it, she doesn't need that image of him as a memory of Logan McBride throughout her teaching years. I'll say this much, if Logan is like this as a kindergartener, I can't wait to see what he'll be like as a teenager! (Again, rolling my eyes). Now you can see why I'm such a proud parent today....(sigh).
