Teachers. Admit it. This is a perk of the job isn't it?

Just got dds work home as she finishes this week.

In the bag are some things that are mounted and have clearly been on the wall either in the classroom or (gulp) the main corridors or halls.

In one she provides a slice of homelife which is mighty embarrassing and makes us sound like total wankers. She also talks about drinking wine. She is 8.

You find these things don't you, with a silent shout of glee. I have believed this since my mother told me about turning up at my school and on the wall was a picture I had drawn of her and dad 'playing in the bath'.

Come on. You might as well admit it....

Not as bad as some of these actually...

I realise your imaginations may make it worse so..

It was just ' what you did on holiday' exercise. We had treaty holiday which included a limo from the airport.

Dd has slighty quaint writing style and rather than sounding ' it was bloody brilliant' it sounded a bit..... ' fabuolous dahhhlings, just fabulous...

She included drinking wine and champagne although I seem to recall bottles of water. Hmm
She had a more pimped out experience than I.

Dd2 had some classic ones. I've kept her book cos I was in stitches at parents evening. Though there were a few mentions of dh ( when we first got together) having sleepovers

Ha haaaa at Pawsnclaws and the unfortunate Dad!

Ds1 did a project on the senses in reception, which included a list of smells he liked and smells he didn't. How proud we were to see that he apparently liked the smell of bogs. The TA assured me it was muddy bogs not the other kind!

Friend of mine's DD wrote in her news book that at the weekend mummy and daddy went to a party, daddy was sick in the plant pot when they got home and when they got up in the morning he had a pocket full of cooked chicken drumsticks from the buffet.

TwilaAndTinsel · 16/12/2010 14:37

Ah x-post if that is indeed all you are going to say...

TwilaAndTinsel · 16/12/2010 14:36

Pag this is a very funny and distracting thread but I really want to know about what DD said to make you all sound like wankers. And about the wine too. Sorry Xmas Grin

DanceInTheDark · 16/12/2010 14:34

I used to tell everyone my dad was a policeman and he painted aeroplanes. It was kind of true! He worked for aerospace and started off in the paint shop and then worked as security!

snowflake69 · 16/12/2010 14:32

I work in a nursery and my daughter comes with me. She is always saying embarassing things about me like 'daddy hits mummy and he goes on time out' which is definitely not true at all. She always sees me drinking cans of fizzy pop as well and thinks its beer cans. She is always telling parents/staff my mummy drinks lots of beer!

Its even worse when its your child and you work there.

superv1xen · 16/12/2010 14:30

haha this thread is great :o

i remember at about 10, writing about my summer holiday in wales at school and saying how it was great on holiday as mummy and daddy took us to the pub every evening and daddy was really funny when he was drunk :o Shock

jacquiel · 16/12/2010 14:28

my dd had to write about what made her happy and what made her sad

Happy - when mummy reads to me Smile
Sad - when daddy makes a cake and it tastes yucky Wink

i didnt mind going to parents evening and seeing that on the wall!!

Lol at silly mummy and tales of cross dressing daddies..

Acanthus.. Nah. I just read it and I thought 'god they we sound like such tossers.
The "and I drank lots of wine" was good though..
I expect some parents nodded along thinking 'yes, I can see how that could happen'

More please, teachers. Just so long as it's not me.

LetThereBeRock · 16/12/2010 14:19

I told my teacher,when I was about 6,that my ambition was to write a book on 101 ways to eat a Jaffa cake.Blush

springlamb · 16/12/2010 14:18

When I was at infant school I used to tell everyone my Dad was German. And occasional use the one German word I knew, as evidence of this.
My Dad was born in Kennington South London and descended from fishermen in Grimsby.
WTF was that about, student psychologists?

springlamb · 16/12/2010 14:15

I still cringe when I remember going into DS's reception class when he shouted 'here's silly mummy' and proceeded to tell everyone how silly me and daddy were for forgetting to put our pyjamas on last night.
Unfortunately, it's a special school with an extended age range - DS is 16 now and I still have to face the same TA.

MeUnscrabbly · 16/12/2010 14:03

At nursery (many years ago) in circle time, the children were given an old 35mm film canister and told to put as many tiny things in it as they could fit. One little girl stood up and said loudly 'My mummy has a pot like that. She calls it her pot pot'

Ha haaaaaaaa Grin

SNORT at the handcuffs

stnikkilarse1978 · 16/12/2010 14:00

I used to tell everyone my Dad was a waiter. In fact he was the manager of a 5 star hotel on Park Lane in London. God knows where I got my ideas from. I think he might have taken us to one of the restaurants in the hotel and known all the staff Grin

welshandproud · 16/12/2010 13:59

In circle time,a 5 year old boy once told me, my entire class and my Teaching Assistants his 'news'.."My daddy likes to dress up in my mummy's clothes when she goes out!"Xmas Grin Could never quite look either parent in the eye again after that!

YunoYurbubson · 16/12/2010 13:56

Dd's last report contained a line about how "dd was always keen to share her experiences outside school with everyone at carpet time".

Oh gawd...

Acanthus · 16/12/2010 13:56

Pag! What did she put? Was it as good as saying mobiles at the tables are astonishingly rude? Xmas Grin

ILikeMilk · 16/12/2010 13:52

Haha! Reminds me of DS telling teacher and classmates that his dad works as a security guard in Tesco. In fact DH is an accountant and holds a very senior position at his company, but DS thought it made him sound much cooler than he is...

PsecretSantead · 16/12/2010 13:51

A small child in one of my classes told me how her daddy dressed up as a princess and chased her around the cellar.

The daddy in question was at least 6'4" and built like a rugby player!

Another drew pics of a cat all the time with wings. I asked him what it was, exactly, and he said that it was his dead cat, in heaven. He explained how his mum cried when she found the cat dead. And then he had cried. And then mummy said he had gone to heaven and how they buried him with a couple of toys and how they had all cried again, but he was brave and gave mummy a cuddle and told her he was in heaven and was baby Jesus's cat now.

I'm afraid I got something in my eye at that point and had to go for a tissue.

TwilaAndTinsel · 16/12/2010 13:50

LOL at "we sound fab" Xmas Grin

I once had to ring a pupil's mum because her DD had handcuffed someone to a tree and we needed her to bring the key to school.

This is why DH and I are strictly vanilla until the children are older.
