To think he should apologise to DS's teacher tomorow?

[HeartBurnQueen]

I asked OH to call the school to re-arrange DS's consultation evening tomorow. He kept putting it off, making excuses etc but I couldn't do it as I was at work so I got cross with him and he reluctantly agreed to do it.

This is what he said to the teacher:

"The pigeon wants to know if we can change appointments coo coo"

The teacher was like "sorry??"

OH still not apologised and teacher probably thinks we're on crack.

I told him I want him to apologise to the teacher when we go tomorow whereas he believes it would be better to let the teacher forget about it. I don't think he will!!

AIBU?

[usualsuspect]

Why did your dp say that

[CogitoErgoSometimes]

Are you married to the late Professor Stanley Unwin?

[TakeItOnTheChins]

Huh??

[HeartBurnQueen]

He was just trying to be funny and embarass me. Payback for making him call I suppose.

[PercyPigPie]

Are you on crack?

[ObiWan]

Did he also make dog noises at the postman from behind the door? And terrorise the foreign -exchange student?

Are your family singularly unhinged?

[Birdsgottafly]

'Making him call', why was it your responsibility to begin with, if you were unable to call because you were in work?

He is a knob for thinking that communicating with your DS's school is a time to behave in a stupid manner.

[Goblinchild]

It will gain your son some sympathy in the staff room.
So there is an upside to having an embarrassment for an OH.

[Allinabinbag]

You are now the laughing stock of the staff room. I would pretend it never happened (hopefully the teacher will start to doubt herself and wonder if you were watching a wildlife programme in the background...)

[LadyBeagleEyes]

Eh ?
What have pigeons got to do with it?
.

[continuousexpansion]

The teacher won't forget it, unless you can persuade him or her to share some of your crack.

[Salmotrutta]

Hahaha - I can't believe he actually did that! He is now labelled for all eternity as a loon Great British eccentric and will be discussed in the staff room for eons! Eons I tell you!!

[worraliberty]

Oh God, I think your child will actually want him to dance at weddings rather than ever ring his school again.

[Goblinchild]

Salmotrutta, I fear you are wrong. There are many weirder and more memorable parent/teacher exchanges than that to be the stuff of legend.
They'll giggle for a week or two at the most.
The question is, did the teacher understand and rearrange as asked?

[needanewname]

Why on earth did he do that?!

Can't wait to hear what happens when you go for the meeting.

You probably don;t want to hear this but your DP has really put a smile on my face!!!!

[whatsallthehullaballoo]

Er...have you tried counselling?

[Salmotrutta]

- I know Goblinchild - I was teasing the OP. But he will be gossip for a bit!

[Gentleness]

I am still giggling about this every time I remember it. Dh thinks I have lost the plot.

[thelittlefriend]

what the hell? The Pigeon? I tried to read that to my dp but couldn't get the words out I was laughing so much

[needanewname]

So come on OP, how did the meeting go? Did the teacher understand the message? Are you now known as the loon parents at the school? We need answers!

[fuzzpigFriday]

Your DH sounds like an immature twat.

[yoshiLunk]

I just don't get it, someone explain it to me..

[fuzzpigFriday]

Yoshi - her OH meant that he was being sent as a carrier pigeon to take the message (of changing the time) to the teacher. Implying that it was just 'her indoors' (the OP) being difficult, and removing any responsibility from himself.

[fuzzpigFriday]

at least that's how I read it - maybe it's something different in which case I don't get it at all!
