things overheard at the open house for my first-grader

Teacher: "And this is our kindness bank. Whenever we see someone being kind, or a general act of kindness we put a penny in the bank"

First Grader: "Yeah, I put my nickel in there."

(low rumble of laughter)

First Grader: "I want my nickel outta there..."

(more parental laughter)

First Grader: " I'm serious. What's so funny about the nickel?"

(Roar of parental laughter)

ALSO

During one of the teacher's presentations, no less than 5 PARENTS got a call on their cell phone!!! Seriously people, don't you know how the silencer works on that shit? Totally rude.
