My friend, Globetrotter's mom was a substitute teacher for many years and she says that when children are in school "parents have no secrets." Let's extend that maxim to a play date Comet is currently enjoying with an ultra-cool kid I'll call VH:
VH: My Dad did the funniest April Fool's thing.
Mama Gusta: Oh, yeah? What did he do?
VH: He made fake candy!
Mama Gusta: What did he make it out with?
VH: Poop!
Remind me not to accept any Spring dinner invitations from the VH's! GameGuy can't believe it's true and since I don't know the people, I can't render a judgement/guess. But it makes you wonder. It also makes me wonder what little out of context tidbits Jules is sharing with his classmates and what kind of impression we are making on their parents. The fair thing to do would be to chalk the anecdote up to VH's fanciful, five year-old brain and give the dad the benefit of the doubt.
All I know is that when VH's dad comes over to pick him up, I won't be shaking hands.
