"Five what?"

Adam's teacher pulled me aside after I helped with Group Time yesterday. "I have to show you something," says Mrs. DeVries.

"Uh oh," I utter wearily. (I shutter when the teacher needs to talk to me. Or the school's name shows up on the Caller ID.)

She showed me this...

A standard paper the boys use to learn their numbers in Pre-K. I've seen them before.

"What do you think those are?" she asks, referring to the 5 brown objects Adam drew.

I was clueless. She said she was too when she asked Adam what they were.

"They're 5 wieners!!" Adam had happily proclaimed.

I wasn't shocked or surprised. And if it had been any other teacher besides Kristin DeVries, I most likely would have been a bit embarrassed. I just shook my head, knowing my son too well. Knowing that "poop" is his current favorite word or knowing that my boys have no qualms about their privates or knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate.

Actually, I found it quite amusing, not laugh out loud amusing, but smile-to-yourself amusing, feel-the-love-for-your-child amusing.

Oh, Adam, you make me smile. You are one of a kind!!

Dear "this guy",

First of all, who are you? And secondly, what do you mean? "Smart boy", huh? And what does "I was draw five." mean?

Please respond.

Good thing Adam didn't label them, for each of the five boys in your family!
