Seriously?
What were you thinking?
Hum. Maybe we should ask Aunt Susan. She would probably have some good insight into why kids forge their parents names.
Although, I don't believe that she started doing that until high school.
Definitely not fourth grade.
For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, Shane came home with a ton of paperwork for me to go through. One of his weekly assignments is to go through the newspaper and review articles.
These assignments aren't hard. They just require some effort, something that Shane hasn't wanted to put forth all year.
Anywho, as I'm going through his papers, I came to the stack of news articles. These all have 2's on them (the equivalent of a c/d). So, at first I'm thinking that the grade isn't good.
Then I start looking at the articles and notice that the first one was a Dear Abby column. And I've never seen it before.
But, seriously, son? DEAR ABBY?
Insert groan here.
Okay. At this point, I'm just thinking that he's being lazy.
Then I flip to the next article. Again, I've never seen this article before.
Then I look down at the bottom of the paper to "my" signature indicating that I've reviewed it.
And this is what I see:
This isnt't my signature.
But it could have been when I was his age:
Note the smiley face in the letter. Owen does that too. But his have glasses on them. ;)
But, I digress. That little stinker forged my name. He said that he didn't know it was wrong (yeah...whatever) and then he started to cry because he thought that he would go to jail for forging my name.
Because I told him that. But, don't worry. I corrected myself and told him that people who forge signatures can go to jail. But, I told him after he was good and worked up.
Then I made him write his teacher an apology letter.
Groan...
And, just so we recall why we love him...
Because this is what will save him in the future. His cuteness.
Unless he forges my signature again. Then it's all over.

That definately looks like a 4th grade signature- not an adult's. You know that because of your sister's forgery- the school started calling all parents instead of getting signatures!! Maybe that was only when they got in trouble!!! What was Shane's teacher's reaction???
Oh man. Susan screwed it up for EVERYONE! LOLOLOLOL.
Don't know what his teacher's reaction is. I'll find out in about 45 minutes at the teacher/parent conference.
Wow. And just how much DID she forge your signature?
It wasn't mine- it was dads! When she got in trouble with Saxon about that girl & was getting ready to be put in ISS if it happened again. It happened again and we knew nothing until we had to go to district office! I think she was a junior then?? Anyway after that they started calling parents with warnings instead of writing notes.
HEY. You people are talking about me like I can't even read it. Well I was bad I know it. BUT I had fun. I did sign Wayne's signature. It was easy. I am never taking Sheldon out of a really really small school if I can help it. That way I'll know. Am I living in a dream? Don't wake me up yet, please.
What I wanna know is who "that girl" is that Susan got in trouble with/over. This is crackin' me up!
Susan will have to answer your question Robin, I can't remember her name. It had something to do with a guy (imagine that!) from Westside. Doug maybe????
Her name was Stephanie Prince. And yes. It was Doug.
:o)
HAHA!!! I love this! So I wonder if Doug and Stephanie Prince were actually worth the trouble she got in for signing your Dad's name???
um-NO.
That is so funny! I used to forge my mom's name all the time. I got really good at it too..she can back me up!

I know this is serious with Shane but I can just imagine him crying and it makes me sad.
Luckily we all tried to pull this (ken did it too) when we were young but now we just forge our husand's signature on checks, right?
