Trying to piece it together; not sure if I want to.

Driving Home From School

"So what letter are you learning about this week?"

"The letter S."

"S! S like Superman! Like Spring! What other S words did you learn?"

"Sewers."

The Next Day, Because I Can't Leave "Sewers" Alone

"So! What S words did you learn today?"

"Hmm. I can't remember."

"Summer? Shower? Soda? Simple?"

"Wait, I remember! Sacrifice."

Thats S for Scary (o_o)

Yesterday sewers. Today sacrifice. Tomorrow. . . .sarcasm?

[Amanda Crabmom]

How very Surreal. And Savvy. And Smart of him. OK, enough.That's a Sophisticated little chap, that is.

I suppose "D" is for "Dada" (like the art) these days; no more of that "D" is for "dog" same-old Dullness. I like it.

[You can call me, 'Sir']

If you ask him about 'R' words and he replies with 'Redrum', you should probably find help.

[Angela]

I hope they make time for a good Strumpet Smackdown! (Not that I would ever endorse such a thing.)

[braine]

Good thing you just got that kitty!







Nooo, no, no, everyone calm down, the kitty is cute and not to be sacrificed.

[furiousball]

You know, that's actually quite profound, think about the sacrifice that went into building the infrastructure of our nation's sewer systems. Workers probably sacrificed plenty of time with their families, other career opportunities, professional baseball career, goats to the altar of Chac in a Mayan blood ritual sacrifice to the Rain God...well, maybe not so much that last one.

I was thinking maybe a sacrifice in the sewer. Performed by large rats in capes. With light sabers. I don't know why the light sabers. Makes cutting things open easier I guess. Like what Luke Skywalker did with his tonton (?) when it died and he was cold. (Clearly I am not a Star Wars fan. However, that is another S word).

I've happened to drop my 4-year old son off at daycare twice in the past few weeks during "Word of the Day" time. The first time, I walked in while the teacher was saying, "...so if I take your blanket out of your cubby but you didn't say I could, did you give me your *consent*?". Then all the kids said the letters aloud: C-O-N-S-E-N-T. Makes me feel I should step up my mom-game at home...

[Pete Dunn]

My girls usually only pull stuff like that out after church... like...

"If you don't go to church that means you hate Jesus."

"Who told you that."

"The guy at church."

[Pete Dunn]

I should follow-up... it's not me that takes them to church.

[Matthew M. F. Miller]

Perhaps you should teach the word sarcasm.

That one word, above all, could save them.

[Samantha Jo Campen]

All I can say is. . .wow.

[Anne]

That's one scary-sounding school! What's on tap for R; rapacious? rabid? rapscallion? (okay, maybe not, but that's one that I really like! heehee)

[Melanie]

Sewers, sacrifice... setting him up for something scary?

[LyndaL]

I'm guessing1) Sewers2) Sacrifice3).......Satan!!!

[slouching mom]

I want to know how Henry's teacher defined sacrifice and what examples of it she gave.

Did you ask? Just curious.

[Laura]

When I read Lynda's comment it was heard in my mind (and pictured) as The Church Lady from SNL. Dana Carvey was great at that wasn't he? "Sewers, sacrafice, who is behind these things? Ssssaaaaaataaaaaan!!"

[Amy]

Errr...what school does he go to? Wait! I don't want to know...

[RLJ]

scrotum, shit, snot, sex, slave, sex-slave, spit, skank, sordid, slut.

those'll be tomorrow.

and then:"synical [sic] son of a slut"

My mummy word of the day is:STRESSand check that, it has three letter "s". 50% of the word is the letter "s." It's the essiest word in the whole English language (perhaps).

[eva]

Is his teacher dating Morrissey?

[Jake]

Schadenfreude!

[aimee/greeblemonkey]

My son is at x right now. It's been fun having him come home with half made-up starting-with-x words (i.e. starting with "ex") since there really aren't that many.

[Patois]

Yeah, I was going Lynda's route, too, figuring there were satanical sacrifices in the sewers. Really, where's the school?

[Trula]

I don't know what's funnier; the post or the comments following LOL!
