Crying Foul about Fowel

I have a serious problem with son's kindergarten curriculum. This week's class letter described how the kids had learned to draw turkeys. I was pretty impressed, since I was having trouble envisioning how I would draw turkey. Trying not to be too enthusiastic, I asked OS if he had drawn any pictures of turkeys today. OS looked surprised. I could see the wheels turning in his little mind. He had been so careful not to divulge any details of the day? How could I possibly have known about the turkey? He practically shrugged his shoulders in an "oh well" gesture and pulled out a drawing from his backpack.

It was really good! I practically puffed up my chest and strutted my feathers. I exclaimed over his drawing and praised it. Then I looked at it a little closer. What was on its head? Why did it have long brown curly hair? Was it a turkey in a Halloween costume? "No, Mommy. That's you as a turkey."

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Sometimes you are better off not knowing what your kids are doing in school.

    OMG that's funny.

    Just hope that OS doesn't talk about home life in school. I've had many teachers say "don't believe what they tell you happens at school and I won't believe what they say happens at home".
