I did get a kick out of the teacher calling me...the teacher loves him because he just says what's on his mind and doesn't care what anyone thinks. He is also amazed at my son's creativity...when he plays with Hot Pants (try typing that without giggling, I dare ya), he has amazingly detailed adventures and I'd never want to curb his creativity.

We had to have the "language" talk with our kids. We never censored their language at home, but told them you didn't speak like that out in public because it was wrong to "gratuitously offend people." (If you wanted the privilege of using four letter words in my house you had to understand the five syllable ones. Rules of the game.) My kids would speak to their friends the way they always did on the way to school...and inevitably get "shushed!!" with the head gesture toward their father. One of my kids would shrug and begin their favorite "freak out their friends" game with a "hey, Dad? Fuck you" to which my husband would mildly reply "fuck you, too." (We're lucky we didn't put a few kids in the hospital with that one.)
A teacher actually *repainted* one of my at the time second grade daughter's art project because she didn't want the penguin to have pink (could have been purple, don't remember) polka dots. Well, we sat the nearly hysterical child down and got the directions for the project - "real or imaginary animal." Allrighteeethen. My husband went in to visit the principal and his opening salvo was "first off...you're so lucky my wife isn't here." Not big on curbing creativity around here, either. If the directions had been "real life animal," then I could see telling *the child* to repaint the project, but that hadn't been the instructions. And the *teacher* repainting it?!?!?!? Oh, I so don't think so....
