Jonah's first assignment for 2nd grade

Meet the teacher night was a little crazy... we went to both the boys rooms and Sophia was screaming to get out of her stroller and wanted to touch everything and I was not paying close attention to what was on whose desk. I just grabbed the stack of papers and would go through them when we got home. When we got home I went through the stack and there was a brown paper bag with instructions to fill it with three things that tell something about you.

Now, there is only one problem. Whose desk was this on? I asked the boys if they remembered and of course they did not so for some reason I thought it was on Jonah's. Jonah went upstairs and grabbed a lego ship he built, a Wii game and a Pokemon card. Well, come morning I thought about it some more and remembered Jonah doing this in first grade so I thought for sure it was Luke's bag. I then took Jonah's items out and Luke filled it with his items.

Off to school we went! When I asked Luke's teacher if the bag assignment was hers she looked at me with a blank stare followed with a big fat "no". Now I feel horrible! Mr. perfectionist was not going to have his assignment on the first day of school. As soon as I got home I emailed his teacher to let her know and gave her a heads up that he might be upset. She said it was fine because they were doing a few a day. PERFECT! Jonah can take his tomorrow.

Jonah gets home from school and I have him go and grab his three things. Done, it is in his backpack and ready for tomorrow. So tomorrow came and he showed his items and brought his bag home and when I opened it was I ever shocked to see what he had replaced the lego ship with... Look below folks!

I about DIED! All I could think of was that he has been put on the "list" to watch. A call has been put into CPS, the counselor has been put on alert and they will now pat him down everyday he walks in the building!

I had to call him down to ask what exactly a grenade says about him. His response, "oh, it was just random, everyone put a random thing in their bag". Then I figured out exactly why he put it in there! It was sitting at the top of the stairs and oh so convenient to grab.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see this all go down and the look on the teachers face of course!
