To think the teacher should know my sons name by now

Son was chatting in class fair dues so at the end of the lesson son walks out of class teacher runs down the corridor shouting ken ken get back here now son ignores teacher she shouting ken get back here

So ken comes running out the loo sorry miss she looks confused the continues after my son and asks him why he didn't answer

Well he's not ken for a start

The thing that pissed me off is she phoned to tell me what happened well what dose she want his name is not ken so why would she be expecting a reply and he got a 15 minute detention I suspect by then its was more to do with her feeling like a fool thank the talking

Vote for thread to be moved to classics.

Brilliant!

pithtaker · 08/12/2011 23:50

And no. I haven't read the whole thread, and nor do I care. Some Kens just need to be known.

leftmymistletoeatthedoor · 08/12/2011 23:51

The thing is that, really, in the back of my mind I think my neighbour is wrong and he is called Alan after all.

Someone should do a song about Ken and how Ken is not Ken's name

PessimisticMissPiggy · 08/12/2011 23:56

Bloody hell. Incestuous cats, one eyed Kens, grandads and namesake dogs, babies and senile relatives.

Moominsarescary · 08/12/2011 23:56

Ds2 has the middle name Alan after my grandad, can't remember what the other grandad was called, Alfred or Albert I think.

Years ago my boss got very irate with me for not answering when she was running down the corridor shouting Karen, well it's not my name

She also asked a patients family member if she could help out for an hour seeing as she had popped in and we were short staffed ( she thought the women was a member of staff)

Mad as a box of frogs she was

MayaAngelCool · 09/12/2011 00:00

Ken Song!

Oh, I really should go to bed now...

NotnOtter · 09/12/2011 00:00

The thread is good - winning post goes to Maypole though

She ened the call with well he talks far to much in class could you tell him to be quite in my class, I said I will but fell fee to tell him to shut up yourself

I'm not sure why it's quite so funny, but it is. I didn't even notice the 5 spelling mistakes the first few times. We definitely do do that thing where we read what we think is there... can't remember what it's called...

Your DS should start writing Ken 2 on his work he hands in!!

CakeandRoses · 09/12/2011 00:10

Our elderly neighbour calls my dh by MY name and then constantly apologises for forgetting my name, iyswim?

Neither of us are called Ken tho. Sadly.

LackaDAISYcal · 09/12/2011 00:12

I worked with someone once whose uncle had been married twice. He had two sons, one each by his two wives, and they were both called Billy. His name was Billy too as was his father before him. They were from Dalkeith though...

And I went to imo with a chap, also from Dalkeith coincidentally, who everyone called Ken. I joined In the 2nd year and so just called him Ken. It wasn't until our fourth year that he told me his name was actually Jeff. He was only "ken" as he used It as a punctuation mark...

CadetDevilcat · 09/12/2011 00:14

I just had a conversation about teachers not knowing kids names just 5 minutes ago .... when my son was in school he had a female teacher who was known for throwing her weight about in an all boys school .....the first lesson taking the register she shouted the name MICHAEL SHAFTESBURY!!! MICHAEL SHAFTESBURY ......MICHAEL SHHHHAAAFFFTTTTEEESFUCKINGBURY ....she got no answer

and my sons mate just glanced up as teacher was throwing a wobbly and announced that his name was Michael ShakeFuckingSpeare

....he sat his first lesson in that school in the head masters office

So sorry for your loss cunting

LackaDAISYcal · 09/12/2011 00:14

*uni...I went to uni

swanker · 09/12/2011 00:15

I was at school with a Ken, and I'm not that old.

I have been rather non-plussed by a close relative recently calling their baby Ian

Sleepingonthebus · 09/12/2011 00:18

There were from Dalkeith though.......

I'm from Dalkeith. It's a very popular name

ColdTurkeyRemains · 09/12/2011 00:22

It's the capital g that is the problem.

[knowledgeful]

oxeye · 09/12/2011 00:32

There is a man lives in my street with an eye patch. I shall call him Ken from now on

EvianBaby · 09/12/2011 00:34

The funniest (& most random) tread for a long time

Poor Ken though

I wonder when the OP stopped reading the tread??

LackaDAISYcal · 09/12/2011 00:41

Didn't man to dis Dalkeith sleeping, honestly :o
I know someone who called their twins the long and shortened versions of the same name. I can't be the only one who thinks that is quite odd? What if the one with the long version wants it shortened as they get older?

And our elderly neighbours who for years we chuckled about for being called Kenneth and Barbara...well turns out Barbie is actually Pat. We sent them a card addressed to Ken and Barbara every Christmas for 6 years.

Another funny ken story...:o

oxeye · 09/12/2011 00:49

I invited my neighbour Colin round for a drink. Turns out he's called Steve

InWithTheITCrowd · 09/12/2011 07:27

When I moved to this house 12 years ago, my neighbours introduced themselves to me as Bev and Kit. I know this to be true, because I said "like Knight Rider?" and they pretended not to know what I was on about. They have a daughter called Kate.
We have, this year, received a card from them (passed to me in person) by Kit, signed Bev, Chris and Jenny.
I don't know what to think. I have been calling them Kit and Kate for 12 years. Have they got their names wrong?

SpringHeeledJack · 09/12/2011 17:55

Well he's not ken for a start

this is probably my favouritist funniest EVER line in mn

and by god I've seen a few in my time
