Oh my gosh, LOL!!!!!! Well, I wouldn't get too upset about it. Most

intelligent six year olds know there is a Santa Claus even if Grant says there

is

not, don't you know? When I told my son that I was the tooth fairy, he looked

right at me and said, " you are not, no you're not! " He thought I was the tooth

fairy for everyone, LOL!!!!!!! So therefore I was lying about being the tooth

fairy.............I love kids, they think and say the funniest things.

Jill, I'm sure there is at least one child every year, that spills the beans

at that age. I'm surprised the teacher was so mad. I'm sure Grant was just

trying to show how smart he was! ;~) But the poor teacher was stuck with all

those little faces looking for the " truth " You just have a little boy that was

trying to be helpful and give everybody the facts, Hey,.... just like his momma!

Ha ha ha! Thanks for that giggle Jill :-D I'd just let it blow

over. The parents of the kids can sort it out themselves lol. Don't

feel too bad. When I was in grd 1 for show and tell I stood up and

announced there is no tooth fairy LoL Poor substitute teacher we had

that day didn't know what to do LoL. :-D

Take care!!!

lol, well he plans to return to class tomorrow and apologize to all

involved. We had a chat about it all. It's sort of sad that he figured

this one out but really, the teacher is over-reacting just a tad. I don't

think it's her job to make sure that their imaginary rituals are being

maintained at the school - there's lots of talk about so many things on the

schoolyard!

Surely there's something else she could be doing?

Ah ha! <light bulb goes off> I know what her problem is!!! She STILL

believes in Santa Claus and was crushed to hear it from a 6 year old that

there IS no Santa!!!!! <wiggles eyebrows>

What are they worried about, I mean this was a 6 yr old, surely the

whole school doesn't simply believe it is completely true because he

said so, I mean the more of a big deal they make about it, the more

likely the other kis are to believe it is true. Like other said I am

sure that this happens every year to some degree. I would do nothing

about it, it is infact up to the parents and not the students or

school to decide what to tell there kids when they get home with

tthis NEW information.
