International Women's Day

It turns out yesterday was International Women's Day.  And Parker decided to support it at school yesterday!  It was so impactful that even his Assistant Principal had to call me...

I was at lunch with my friend Ashley when my phone rang- it was Parker's teacher calling from her cell number.  I thought- here goes... (The nurse had called earlier that morning that Taylor had a stomach thing and she came home... I was thinking we were all about to get hit with the stomach bug).  After hearing what I heard, the stomach bug was probably the better sounding option.

Apparently, Parker and another boy were supposed to be doing a reading activity on the computer.  Instead, they decided to go to google and type in... get this... "boobies".  (I would have LOVED to see their attempt at spelling that).  Well, the school's firewall blocked any potential images or websites from pulling up, but a little girl sitting by them overheard them and told the teacher.  (Go, girl!)  Parker and the boy had to then go to the AP's office.

I was MORTIFIED!  In all my years of schooling (Stephen's as well), we each only had one detention and never once had to step a foot in the principal's office.  Parker is six and has already made it there. 😳. His teacher was like- I was so surprised about both boys, but especially Parker.  (She said the other boy had older siblings, like teenager-age, so she wasn't as surprised with him).  She said the AP was going to call me after the boys ate lunch.

Of course, when I relay the story to Ashley, she is cracking up and FULL of jokes. ;) 

I get the call from the AP on my way home.  It was short and sweet, and Parker was in the office with him and in tears.  He said he isn't going to punish him, but that they want to make it clear that it doesn't need to happen again.

I texted with his teacher later, and she told me that during her planning, she and the AP were cracking up about it.  They just wanted to scare the boys so they know it's not appropriate to do again.  That was good to know, because when I told Sydney, she was all worried that the K-Bash kids are well thought-of and good kids, and "now Parker has RUINED that". ;). 

Happy International Women's Day, indeed!

He LOOKS sweet... :)
