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."

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".
