Confession or Damage Control Strategy???

Funny conversation from supper last night:

Me:  [to J] End of Quarter Parent/Teacher Conferences for C's class are this week.  Mine is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

C:  What are conferences?

J: [joking] That's when Mommy talks to your teacher and finds out how much trouble you've been getting into at school.

G: [quickly responds/interrupts] C doesn't EVA ("ever" in G speak...the girl has a KILLER accent :) get into trouble at school!

C:  WEEEEEELLLL G, I wouldn't exactly say THAT....

[J and I exchange glances across the table and try not to laugh]

Since last night, I keep coming back to two rather amusing thoughts...

#1 - I'm not sure if I should be proud for his honesty OR worried that he's preemptively setting the bar low in preparation for my conference...guess I'll find out Wednesday :)

#2 - When a Teacher's Pet and a Classroom Trouble Maker fall in love, get married, and have a baby I suppose it should not be a surprise that said baby would be a semi-troublemaker with a sensitive conscious...poor kid! :)

  1. LOL---love number two. I bet C's just being honest. I would think any teacher would be pleased to have him in his/her class! :-)
