To think this was the most embarrassing conversation ever and I can never show my face at school again.

I was in Asda when my phone rang, the conversation went as follows.

Head teacher "Hello, is that Mrs Pheobe"

Me "yes"

HT "I have something to discuss. In all my years in teaching I have never had to have this conversation with a parent. I really don't know where to start"

Me Okaaay, what is the problem?

HT "I really don't know what to say"

Me "perhaps you should just say it"

HT "Well, I had a child come to my office today with an object that had been put in his bag by your ds".

Me "what was it"

HT "a very large sex toy"

Blush Blush Blush

I asked if ds had said where he got it from all the while praying mine was still in my bedside drawer
HT said that DS had said he got it from his younger DBro but in his opinion ds must have ordered it from the internet. I disagreed, ds is far too tight to spend his own money on such a thing plus I would have seen the parcel.

Came home checked bedside table DSs internet history, nothing suspicious. Checked his FB messages and found a conversation with a school friend saying he had a dildo that his little brother had found.

DS came home, we had the conversation Grin he was mortified and agreed he had been a prat.

He insisted he had taken it off his 10 year db after finding him playing with it in the garden Shock. I questioned younger ds about wether he had found anything unusual that elder ds had taken off him. Younger ds claimed to know nothing. Dragged elder ds back in and said your brother doesn't know what your talking about.

Elder ds says "you know, remember the blue snake". Oh yes the blue snake says younger ds," I didn't find it, Dsis did at the park and she gave it to me".

Drag 8 year old DD in and explain that she shouldn't pick up things when she doesn't know what they are. "But I did know mummy it was a super soft squidgy snake thing".

FFS, I need to bleach all of my dc and send the younger two to a differant school don't I.

I can never show my face in that school again.

Grin I think you should ring the estate agent as you will be the talk of the school gate. Snakey will grow in size as each person passes on the tale. At least you have given them something to gossip about and its only the beginning of term

ShockBlushGrin Op you're now famous!

Pheobe1 · 02/09/2015 17:49

patience it wasn't mine, please believe me.

Gloria yes grim, but whilst trying to explain to dd why she shouldn't pick up things that might be dirty she did say "it wasn't dirty mummy it was a new snake, we threw the wrapping in the bin".

still bleaching them though

Grin that is hilarious! Ds once exclaimed loudly on the way to school that he'd seen a snake skin on the floor, it wasn't a snake skin, he'd have been about 5 at the time, he's 8 now and still talks about the time he saw a snake skin on the way to school Blush

I hear Alaska is nice in summer...

Helpmeoutofthemaze · 02/09/2015 17:54

And this is why 8yos shouldn't be in the park unsupervised. I cannot understand why mners are always advocating this.

Katinkka · 02/09/2015 17:55

i once had two police men in my front room one night when my two yr old came in using my pink vibe as a sword. I wish I'd been able to say it was someone else's!

Best ever! That can be your 'something people don't know about me' at the next daft work ice-breaker you have to do.

"My daughter once found a blue snake ...."

ElderlyKoreanLady · 02/09/2015 17:59

You poor cow.

I'm afraid the only good way to front this out is to give HT a knowing grin and state, "trust me, I'd know if one of mine were missing"

This has made me laugh Grin

I think it's the sheer cuteness of your DD - a soft squidgy snake! Bless!

QOD · 02/09/2015 18:05

Wrapping? Hopefully it wasn't wrapped in crusty tissue or a "balloon" Envy

Cloppysow · 02/09/2015 18:06

Think about the poor cow that lost it at the park.

Cloppysow · 02/09/2015 18:07

Bet she was gutted when she got home

Hulababy · 02/09/2015 18:07

But on a good note... just think how much you have cheered those teachers up on their first week back to work!

Sorry, they won't believe you!

Heelsdown · 02/09/2015 18:10

I bet it was a guy lost it, being blue.

coffeeisnectar · 02/09/2015 18:14

I'm a volunteer at a school. If it's the same school I will defend you. Honest!

(Secretly hoping it is and there are photos in the staff room)

Jbck · 02/09/2015 18:14

OP I believe there are special programmes like witness protection for situations such as yours.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 02/09/2015 18:15

Helpme Yes because every parent worries about their child finding a sex toy in the park... Rational fear...

Seriously, lighten up!

OP. Run away. Faaaaaaaar away! Grin

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 02/09/2015 18:16

Who the jeff wants a blue dildo? Unless you have a smurf fetish.

CwtchesAndCuddles1 · 02/09/2015 18:17

Well that beats my dd (year 2) doing cartwheels in the yard with no knickers on - a teacher / parent conversation I will never forget!!!

Can you emigrate by tomorrow?

Littlefish · 02/09/2015 18:17

That's bloody brilliant. I only hope that something half as cringe-worthy has happened when I start back at school tomorrow. You're right that it will be the talk of the staff room for many years weeks to come.

Pheobe1 · 02/09/2015 18:19

The ds who thought this was a funny prank is year 11 and leaving in June. I still have two other dc in years 7 and 9 plus the two "snake lovers" who are due to go there. That's another 8 years of parents evenings. Dh is going to be very busy indeed.
