I love kid notes. My daughter called her classmate an idiot and had to write to apologize. She wrote, "Next time I see you, I won't say anything. Because if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything."
My daughter had to write a note of apology when she was in 2nd grade. She refused to start it with "Dear [Name of Victim]" because she didn't want to suggest to him that she held him dear in any way. So it began, "Fellow Student [Name of Victim]."
This tale was both hilarious and cringe-worthy, and I don't think you even need to have the punching bag to understand. However, there still appears to be a great deal of hostility and aggression going on in the scrawled, heavily-erased nature of this note. I'd definitely suggest the boy not turn his back or mistakenly make prey his package around that girl for awhile.
I also wish to say I feel a wee bit creepy having just used the words "boy" and "his package" as it is necessary in this comment, but I trust you'll continue to allow me access.
No one likes being touched where their bathing suit covers.
I love that they made the girl jump 2 grades in vocab as there is no suitable replacement for 'inappropriate' in this case - (also my favorite word, ever, btw)

ReplyDeleteThe only notes we ever get from school are head injury notes. We got 9 last year.
ReplyDeleteMy little guy has zipped his little guy twice and slammed it in the toilet lid twice.
That note is great. I think our legal system should run that way for minor crimes.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteYou r funny, and I like it. Come see me!

I love that note-- I would be framing a copy of it to brighten my day whenever I needed it.
ReplyDeleteI need to show this to my wife.
My husband wrote me a note like that last night. Bow chicka bow.
ReplyDeleteMarinka - If only that worked on relatives.
ReplyDeleteColletee - AAAAH AAAAAH AAAAAH! I'd switch to velcro.
Heiny - George W. needs a write me and my IRA a few million apologizes, too.
Eve - That is best come on I've had in years. The only one, but still the best.
Dan - It's going over the mantle.
Anna - Should I arrange to get him some lessons?
Pure poetry.

She spelled "inappropriately" correctly but misspelled sorry.
ReplyDeleteA school that starts with the tough words first -- cutting edge stuff. I like it.
DGM - Standing on principlr in grade 2 -- good for her.
ReplyDeleteAMR - We r quit progressive hear.
Hang on to that and release it to the media when the perpetrator runs for public office in 30 years ...
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I love parenthood.
ReplyDeleteI recently found a note in my son's room that my daughter wrote to him:
"Nancy (her doll) is not stupid. Stripey (his teddy bear) is the stupid one. Love, Morticia"
* sigh *
I'm shocked they would allow a note like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's like fresh blood for a PI lawyer around these parts.
Wow, that is a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteThat's one to keep in the old scrapbook. Or on the fridge.

Ha! I think making a first grader spell "inappropriately" is punishment enough, don't you?
