Always Check your child's homework before it gets to school.

I thought this was funny!

When asked to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up, second-grader "Sarah" turned in the lovely drawing shown below. Needless to say, the teacher was a bit surprised -- Mrs. Smith had always seemed like such a conservative woman. So she sent a note home to the girl's mother asking for clarification as to the picture's meaning.




Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.
I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.

From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,

Mrs. Smith

Oh that was hilarious!

Speaking of hilarious, Mike and I are now hooked on THE OFFICE. Jess and Seb own all of season 1-4, and we've been watching them to get caught up with the new season show on Thursday evenings. At first, I thought it was stupid, but now I'm addicted!
